I was sitting almost right behind it and I went nuts!
And yes, Kossie, the big f*cking girl's blouse, whacked him just as he turned around. Gutless.

Awesome stuff and remember he almost did the same against Freo, that one just missed.
Indeed, although McPhee is not eligible for MOTY because Stanton was paid a free for in the back on that play.BenDoolan wrote: We've been active in both aspects of the game so far this season...

Aaron Francis is the Messiah.
Hmm, is that official?j-mac wrote:Indeed, although McPhee is not eligible for MOTY because Stanton was paid a free for in the back on that play.
The way I saw it, the umpire called advantage......that means that bit of play WAS the advantage, the mark and then handball away by McPhee...
Boncer - are you about? We need an umpiring clarification here!

Can't get advantage paid for a mark, which makes it even more likely that Stanton was paid a free.BenDoolan wrote:Hmm, is that official?j-mac wrote:Indeed, although McPhee is not eligible for MOTY because Stanton was paid a free for in the back on that play.

But maybe the panel at the end of the year will just look at any mark where a free wasn't paid AGAINST that player or team.

Sorry mate, I think you misread what I wrote. I meant the kind of goal Fletch kicked is unique, not an Essendon player getting the nomination.BenDoolan wrote:We've been active in both aspects of the game so far this season...Gossy wrote:Will be interesting to see if he gets goal of the week. From reports, Yze kicked a good one as did Hunter today. Would be great to see Fletches massive torp get the nod though, as it is so unique to todays game.

Also in regards to Smokey, the mark wasn't paid, due to Stanton getting a free, and hence did not get nominated. That is official.
Yeah, I know what you meant....I was just going on a different tangent saying that we have been flying high and kicking ripper goals every week.Gossy wrote:Sorry mate, I think you misread what I wrote.

Just saw Yze's goal on the AFL website. To be fair, it's an absolute f****** corker. Hansen's isn't bad in the wet too. It will be close. If those three were the final three at the end of the year it would be fair enough.

Agree - every weekend there is at least 3 freakish snaps from the pocket.Gossy wrote:Will be interesting to see if he gets goal of the week. From reports, Yze kicked a good one as did Hunter today. Would be great to see Fletches massive torp get the nod though, as it is so unique to todays game.
There is lucky to be one 70m+ torp goal per season - and this year it was Fletch! (I know Lade kicked a monster against Freo at Subi in Rd 1 - but don't think it was a torpedo or as long as Fletch's - but maybe I'm biased!)
