Adelaide Footy League Division 2 - 2019

[Lightning McQueen]

Couple of things of note:

What was the Athelstone defender thinking as he kicked the ball out on the full right next to the boundary, a bad time for a brain fart.

How did the siren go before the ball was thrown up back in the middle? Shouldn't the clock have been stopped after the goal?

No time on in the B Grade..

Oops, I thought it was the 1's.

I declare my bias.. but I really can't can't hear a ding - despite full volume on the PC. In slow mo frame by frame the ball does not appear to deviate from its line, if it had hit hard enough to make a ding then you'd expect the balls flight path to waver.
I see the goal ump go straight to the middle of the sticks without hesitation.
Seemed like a regulation goal to me. And with no goal review system.. as previously mentioned: "The Goal Umpire's decision is final."

[Footy Chick]

It is what it is and it gave us something to talk about for a couple of days.

In other news, Seaton's Shane Harris won his second medal in a row last night becoming the D2 medalist for 2019

I have no bias to either side. I can only suggest getting some better speakers for your PC, or try using headphones

Must admit i couldn't hear it, but the post does appear to wobble as the ball passes by - plus the 6 blokes under that are all pointing to it, and the guy on the video pointing out it hit the post certainly suggests it did.

ditto for me..no noise but the slight wobble i see..nearly every AFC player remonstrates at the same time..i reckon its hit it..

but best of luck to kane and scotty this weekend..both great lads and i hope they get their flags!

Rumour has it the goal umpire was Joel Wilson

Love this.

Sadly we didn't have a replay of the disallowed goal on the siren the week earlier.. I reckon that would've given us even more to talk about

Coach leaving on a high, rumoured to be coaching either Centrals or Eagles next year.

[Footy Chick]

Worst fake news ever. Centrals already confirmed as false

[Eagles2014]

Worst fake news ever. Centrals already confirmed as false

Ch 7 news ran the story again tonight, said both Centrals and Eagles chasing him.

And Athelstone officials said he is leaving, so must have a coaching gig worked out somewhere!

[Footy Chick]

Oh, if it was on Ch7 it must be true.

Don't ask me, I just strap ankles

[Robran]

Worst fake news ever. Centrals already confirmed as false

Wouldn't say false at all.

[The Bedge]

Don't ask me, I just strap ankles

You say it’s fake news, then say you just strap ankles so don’t ask you?

[mighty hounds]

Definitely not false from what I’ve heard.

[Footy Chick]

Ok, then it wasn't true as of last Thursday.

Unley have given themselves every possible chance in recent years but always seem to fall short on the big day. They obviously play well on there home deck but struggle at Thebby...... 0/3. Congrats to Athelstone football Club on there first A grade flag in a couple decades.
