Geelong still a chance for the Finals in 2006???

"The AFL yesterday ruled that a goal umpire had incorrectly awarded a rushed behind to Melbourne in last Saturday's match at Skilled Stadium.

The game was drawn, leaving the Cats six premiership points outside the top eight with just one match remaining of the home-and-away season.

AFL umpires boss Jeff Gieschen said last night the goal umpire should have ruled that a second-quarter mark taken by Geelong's Matthew Egan was inside the field of play and not juggled over the goal line."


BRILLIANT!!!

Doesn't mean squat though haha

It was said to be 1 second after the siren - only what I have read/heard on broadcasts, obviously I havent seen the game or replay though.

Yes, you can hardly blame the umpries. We didn't deserve to make the eight. We lost to Richmond at home, gave up a massive lead against West Coast and then worked our way back into it only to show bugger all in crucial matches against the Roos and the Saints.

regards,
