I reckon it was a mark as the 'whole' ball wasnt over the line imo.
I'll take it yet I'm bias too

A few players at our club aren’t fit to carry towner’s bag.
What was the knock?
pace?
I thought that was a 50/50 decision to be fair. Sometimes they're paid, sometimes they're not. Not the worst I've seen against us. Lynch probably should have marked it anyway but then again it was quite slippery. Plus the Edwards kick was a bit high and gave Roughead the chance to spoil; should have put it a bit more out in front of him.
I'm more annoyed with Jack not scoring from 35m out basically dead in front. That's the game there.
We’ll get good and bad decisions. Take the good, ignore the bad.I reckon it was a mark as the 'whole' ball wasnt over the line imo.

umpires forgot the deliberate out of bounds rule last night and that advantage went to collingwood.
She's early days but its a bit like footys version of 20/20 cricket and you can't afford to be slow out of the blocks. I loved the crowd noise, lots of mistakes and happy with the result, at quarter time it didn't look great.
One game in 8 months plus very artificial training conditions the last 10 weeks had a negative impact. Lowest aggregate game score since 1999. (Asterix 20% less football)
i took 2 things out of this game.
1. we were rusty as hell and will be better for the run. But we were all over them since halfway through the second quarter and should have buried them in the end.
2. Collingwood don't believe they can beat us pound for pound, so they resorted to parking the bus with this insane 18 man zone. They are to blame for making it ugly and there was some evidence last night that we have the edge over them mentally.

Take the 1/2, carry the 1/4 and add to the....
Nope you lost me.
In the first half of the 2/4 was he better than the last quarter of the half?
If I get through a half a six pack is it a good half or a bad quarter ?
"Richmond’s Jack Higgins took a mark which appeared to be taken over the goal line in the second [actually the third] quarter. He kicked the goal. It was a mistake, surely, and the AFL will need to explain the decision on Friday."

It's late and I'm biased but I can't quite see a gap between ball and post (click to enlarge).
Of the many howlers perpetrated by the video review system, I don't think this is one of the most grievous. The picture is at worst inconclusive.
Maybe he's just trolling Collingwood supporters.
Brenton Speed's explanation (camera not on back of post/line or same width as posts):
That was the game in a nutshell for me.
Howe is absolutely elite. Moore is a good player and Roughead is very serviceable. Maynard is actually one of the great kicks in the game. For an untidy looking bloke, his kicking is silk. They make good decisions coming out of defence.
So our method of going forward was a real head-scratcher. Surely with the speedy team as picked the plan was to run the ball into the forward line? Some of the bombs forward looked like we were preferring the safe option. It played right into their hands.
Hope we're better for the run.
Who is our forward line coach?
Entry into forward line seemed to lack any structure. The mosquito fleet, especially Rioli, were missing. Jack was all at sea. George looked lost.
Thank goodness for Tommy Lynch ( and Higgo) who always looked dangerous.

Too many passengers. Interesting that most of them were the kids.
I think we need to pick a taller team against the pies as get us in the air. Guys like McIntosh and Caddy would make a difference.
Pies flooding was a disgrace.

Sorry Ridley completely disagree. That was not 50-50. He didnt mark it because he his arms were clearly chopped by Roughead. That free was clear as day.
good point, but one thing... surely the camera would be positioned on the other side of the goal as we can't have it in play?
Collingwood received softer frees than that during the night
I agree. In fact I thought the one that wasn't paid was more blatant than the one that was paid. I reckon the one that was paid could have been a 50/50, the second one was a clear arm chop (much more forceful too)
I'm not sure about others, but reading these match day threads from the beginning sort of "does me head in" as far as emotional roller-coasters go. So I'm here to apologize if this has been discussed. ....
I'm not too stressed about lastnight, as the pies have shown what their plan is against us and they won't get to see what we do to counter it until maybe it's too late, should we both make it to whenever.
Think we'll be right when we get the full-on love-in back in action at training.

That is NOT where the camera is placed, it's placed toward the rear of the post in line with the rear of the goal line
