Yet another failed thread started by DynamoUltra, keep trying dude

Look like Dynamo has made an a** of himself yet again.

lol

What about the point at half time, with Lucas having a shot after the siren, I saw it live at the game - have yet to of seen replays - was that a point? Some people are saying that it should never of been payed as a point.

If it was the wrong call, Carlton could protest and win, but we won't.

I'm surprised little has been made of this, or maybe it's in the Bay 13 board (haven't ventured there yet), but in the first quarter when Lucas had a long bomb on goal, one of the Carlton players dived at the ball, touching it with his fingers before the ball bounced through. The goal umpire incorrectly called this a goal, instead of a behind, and hence Carlton were robbed.

Carlton got two goals from soft frees that where not there during the game as well.

In the end i would say Carlton robbed themselves with poor kicking

I would say the same thing. We can also say that Essendon robbed themselves by letting Carlton come back after being 20 points up in the last quarter!

Was there a better camera angle of the incident? At the game it didn't look like he touched it & on the footy panel this morning the footage didn't show him touching it. If there was another angle that I haven't seen then I'll concede we were lucky with that 1, if not then this whole thread sceams of absolute desperation from yet another obsessed hawks supporter.

In any event, the incident in question occurred early in the game, which means that you shouldn't allow it affect the end result anyway.

Exactly. What's to say whoever was kicking it in from the behind didn't turn it over (which in all likelyhood would have happened) again resulting in a goal. Therefore we win by a point.

Not worth worrying about.

Don't know what footage they used on the footy panel, but the replay shown immediately afterwards on Fox Footy clearly shows Thornton's fingers being slightly bent from contact by the ball. He definitely touched it, but I can accept that the goal umpire may not have seen the contact.

You can't pay that a goal. He got a fingertip on it but he didn't touch it well enough for it to be paid a goal.

What about the in the back frees to Carlton? What about those fluke goals to Simpson and Kouta? Carlton didn't deserve to draw.

You're right, with the number of easy goals they missed they should have won comfortably. On the other hand, maybe if Essendon didn't try to shut the game down with 4 minutes still left on the clock they might have got over the line.

Yeah that was pretty weak by our players - negative tactics with that much time left never works.

Story of our year. I was beyond frustrated by our skills, and our goalkicking yesterday. The third quarter of 3.8 was unacceptable. Should've iced the game by 3/4 time.
