Fair go - I’m here in Melbourne after a glorious win yesterday - and all the Melbourne papers can do is talk about “that” goal which shouldn’t had been according to them.
Here’s a sample of the headlines : “Touch and Go”, “Controversy as Freo beat Pies” , “A Touch Unlucky - Walters ‘goal’ costs Pies” “I Definitely Touched It - Shocked Mayne says ‘It hit all five of my fingers’ “
We are talking about something that happened in the THIRD quarter, not on or after the siren. So who’s to say if it WAS ruled a point that it was impossible for us to manufacture a goal from the resultant kick-in? Anything could have happened but it’s impossible to go back and rewrite history. All these people who believe in fairy tales and that the Pies were robbed seem to conveniently forget that a point results in a kick in, not a return to centre.
