That was remarkably poor and needs investigation and sanction. That goal should not stand.
I was behind the goals on level 2 and he was kicking it straight at us, Gov was remonstrating with the ump the second he veered off course but to know avail. Different set of rules for the superstars of the game (except Cripps, Walsh, H and Charlie who get umpired properly). In fact, when they showed the reply, I'm sure the ump to his left put his arms up calling time as he was running in, was that because the siren went or because he veered off line?

I saw it but I didn't believe it.
He has an agenda whenever he opens his mouth.
Just trying to work out what it is!

Regarding Scott talking us up in his presser....

There is a method in his madness, and it is a typical Scott deflection.
It's a bit like saying you lost a 100 metre race to Usain Bolt.
The fact you lost by 50 metres gets missed a bit in the telling of how good the opposition was...

You heap praise on the other side and say how awesome they are, and it makes your effort seem just a little bit better....and they weren't complete duds.
They were OK in patches, they were just overwhelmed by a 'machine'.
And I'm not sure Scott, and a whole lot of other coaches, slept too well last night.

Machine is a great word to describe how the team went about it last night. A machine is made of parts and those parts perform a function. All the part performed well and none of the parts broke off last night. The main part, the engine, just purred along and didn't miss a beat, tuned to perfection. And when the other machine tried to launch an overtake, the machine operator  shifted the gearbox into 4th gear and away the machine went over the finish line. After the game my mate and I both thought that despite the 10 goal win against a quality side, we had  another couple of gears left over so the machine analogy is quite apt this morning.

The best H/A win under Voss IMO. Total domination, a complete 4 quarter performance. Led from start to finish, won all the key statistical indicators, took the umpires out of the equation. No team is likely to do that week in week out. One to savor, against a very good team.

Seems to have been lost on a few commentators, but I thought Walsh tapping the orange on his shoulders after the goal was a 'nod' to the "Respects" jumper.

Yes, I noticed that as well.

I think that's just a celebration, orange on shoulders or not.

"To brush one's shoulders off, according to the Urban Dictionary, “means to brush off negative energy of statements made about you"

Yes, he said as much when interviewed after the game.

Possibly too obvious for the commentators?

I briefly thought that it may have been, “We’re finally going to get a win with the orange!” but that would have underestimated Sam’s character.

Vossy’s opening remarks at his presser were spot on.

Now that is what 'hunting' looks like. The Fluffballs brought their best, but we just wouldn't let them play their natural game.

Definitely our most complete game under Vossy. But it has been building since the Fluffy Ducks gave us a hiding, and regaining important personnel.

I watched the Scott media conference and didn't hear anything surreptitious, just an honest appraisal of a dominant opponent in full-flight.

Bravo to the coaching group, not only for this game but how we've embraced creative, even bold, personnel change/use - Cincotta, (sticking with) Cowan, Williams and TDK solo rucking.

I thought Fantasia justified his place last night. His best effort for the year.

So who loses their place to Cerra, Cotters, Martin and Motlop?

Twelve individual goal kickers, four of whom kicked multiple goals including Charlie’s handful.  That’s a damn good effort particularly against a team that beat us earlier in the season.

We’re going OK when the midfielders, defenders and ruck are kicking goals.

Oh, has anyone mentioned that we won by ten goals? 😇

Chris Scott really didn’t have an alternative to acknowledging how well we played but I think that he may have been just a little stunned when he fronted his presser.

I believe that we should be asking the AFL to cancel Jeremy Cameron’s play on after the siren goal.  It was a blatant umpiring error and there was no subsequent play so cancelling it is the right thing to do.

FMD the AFL sometimes makes things more difficult than they need to be.

I mean, they claim they review every goal. So why didn’t we hear that voice from the box say, “Looking at this angle, we can see that the player deviated from his line and so played on after the siren. Result is on the scoreboard.”

Watching in real-time I thought McGovern played it well by planting his feet, not moving, but pointing and calling attention to the umpire.

Upon reflection, however, maybe he would have been better to sprint off his line as soon as Cameron deviated? Obviously that would have risked a 50 metre penalty but might, just might have conned the umpire?
