Howd the poor man's Casboult, McKay go today?

Wasn’t required.
Curnow had them covered himself.

Amazing how often a team will miss a very gettable chance in the last minute, only to be pipped after the siren following the kick-in.

E.g. Boak earlier this year against the Crows.

As soon as he missed I knew we would lose. We give up the most coast to coast goals in the comp. Terrible coaching to allow it constantly and with a pea hearted skipper who is too piss weak to structure them on ground

Should have been set up for the miss before he even kicked it, Pies ran that out with no pressure whatsoever. Poor coaching on and off the ground indeed.

Wright was 25m to the side of Jones screaming for it. Should have chipped it to him and milked another 30 seconds

Should have just nailed a simple goal.

[JK]

Great kick by Elliot.
Shades of Scotty Hodges in the 96 prelim.

Uncalled for mate

[amber_fluid]

Was it a 50m penalty as well as the free kick?

[DOC]

Yep. Free payed, play stopped, Collingwood player picked the ball up and kicked it.

Was not paid.

Should have been 50m penalty, but where do you stop. There are dozens of disputed decisions across every game. The AFL have made the game very difficult to umpire. Gil's legacy. I watch Amateur league every week and it's a different game to what I see on TV.

Heppell was on the bench at the time, but you keep doing you.

I said we do it constantly. Was 4 or 5 yesterday before that final goal. Our on field leadership stinks. He is the worst captain in club history and directly cost us 3 goals in the last quarter but we haven’t got anyone else. Rabble of a club

Actually reminds me of Craig McRae in Rd 1 of 1994 kicking it from just outside the 50 in Campbells pocket at Footy Park to beat Norwood on or after the siren by 2pts...

Norwoods first game in those Guernsey's.

Yep just took the scab off a still healing wound!

[JK]

Technically speaking, should the Elliott goal have been disallowed? Marked it with 32 seconds remaining but kicked after the siren, so technically play on before he kicked it?

And, whilst only minimal, he didn't appear to kick over the mark. I've seen instance where players kicking after the siren have umpires stand behind them to ensure they are doing just that, obviously the siren rang as he kicked it but it wasn't over his mark.

Nonetheless his mark and kick deserved a goal.

I’ve got no issue with that being a goal. I don’t think he moved too far off it and it was great kick.
Every Essendon fan around the country knew that he wasn’t going to miss it

No. The 30 second clock stops when they begin their run up.
In essence Ben Brown has up to about 40 seconds!

No .... he took the mark with 32 seconds to go and the shot clock started with 30 seconds to go. He started his run up with 4 seconds to go, so he was fine from that perspective.

[Armchair expert]

He kicked over the mark more than Dawson did

[JK]

Cheers lads, thought there was probably a reason. Great finish so thankfully all above board

I know mate low blow. I reckon there wasn't a single Norwood supporter in the house who thought Scotty was going to miss that shot. **** I was gutted lol.
