Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

He absolutely got it down. Only one eyed Panthers would argue he didn't.

There are plenty of tweets going around with definitive view. Would have made it 10-10 with a kick to come and a completely different ball game with 20 mins left.

Well that's just wrong.

I said no try at the time and held that view despite people wanting desperately to see otherwise.

Bellamy has said it was held up.

I hope we never see a fourpeat in the AFL that'd be so boring

And then there is the vision we did not get to see last night.

When I was watching live I was maybe. 50/50.
When I watched it back later on the computer I was 80/20 he did not. Difference being I have a 4K monitor that I got specifically for watching footy replays and it was clearer than my TV which is 6 years old.
It is very clear from the angle looking from the right of Cleary and through Tago legs that there is an arm under the ball compared the the angle from the left of Cleary which was shown in the telecast.
Lots of opinions that are now 100% no try now that vision is out.
There is certainly no conclusive evidence to say it did just touch the turf. In my opinion. I am still saying 90% sure it was held up.

NRL is the worst sport in the world.

It's pretty bad, hey.

I really tried to like it for a while, but far out It's boring. And stuttery. And kind of.. I don't want to say it lacks skill and strategy because I'm sure there's plenty that goes into it, but it's unimaginative as a spectator.

Some would say the same about Aus Football. You really gotta be into a team to truly love a sport.

No it’s objectively the worst sport.

It is certainly on the list.

I watched it yesterday and the commentators were fawning at how good both sides were. To me even the most boring AFL game is more entertaining. I can't believe that people actually watch this. Stop and start 4 times and kick it to the opposition on the 5th.

The only NRL game I watched that I genuinely enjoyed is the 2015 Brisbane vs North Queensland grand final.

NFL is far far more entertaining.

I find this more exciting than NRL
