Benny McGlynns goal

[Crock]

Watched the game many times (but still not enough!)
Benny McGlynn’s goal at the start of the second quarter was a good goal.
If he was still playing in the Brown & Gold we would all be cheering him.
Just before the ball bounced through Goodes pushed one of our players (Suckling?) away from the ball but, in my opinion, Goodes got a fair bit of his back!
So if the ball is in “free flight” like that, what is the rule?
Does the “push in the back” rule not apply in that case?

Just curious!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

It was a free against Goodes on the line that was not paid.

You can't shepherd the ball through from behind an opponent.

It should've been called a push in the back.

 

[MinerBoy]

Have NFI what Lake was doing. He only got his back hit by Goodes because he stopped and propped and watched the ball.

Lake could easily have forced a behind there IMO.

 

[Flukey!]

Lake should have got a free, no doubt.

But Benny Mc can keep his goal and Lake and the rest of our team can keep their premiership medallions.

 

[MightyHawks86]

That piece of play puzzled me as well. Is it possible that Lake thought he was going to get the free so didn't attempt to spoil that much? Looked like he could have easily rushed it through (or at least made a contest).

 

[arupist]

All I saw was another Hawthorn player kick a goal. 8th? for the match to that point?

 

[Todman]

Why deny Benny's only highlight for the day. How could some people have money on him to win the Norm Smith when he was never good enough to be a regular at Hawthorn.

 

[Blaze Storm]

On retrospect, don't care, but just another piece of the AOTY's magical whistle-free aura.

Is that Kennedy behind him?

This.

 

[QuietB]

The best bit is Goodes falling over. You can almost hear the thoughts going through his mind - "I just pushed Lake square in the back, better fall over before anyone notices"

 

[kolchak]

Goodes played the man numerous times and should have had a number of free kicks paid against him, but it was Goodes. Was funny just watching him lose the plot TBH.

Pretty sure it is

Then you would have realised it was Brian Lake that Goodes pushed

Benny McGlynn’s goal at the start of the second quarter was a good goal.

Who's place would he take in the 22?

 

[Davo23]

I thought this may have been the goal he cheated to get in the Round 18 game, the one that was apparently touched.

To be fair, it was the umpires who cheated (or maybe they just blundered)

 

[dixyland]

Well McGlynn has improved significantly since he left the nest. Plsying regular team footy at an inferior club has helped him play and get better.

 

[JoeHawk]

I was more annoyed at mcglynns (pretty sure it was him) blatant block in the dying minutes stopping any chance of Spanhger marking in the goal square. That or even free would have brought the house down. Then again who cares now.

I do get the sentiment though but don't share it.

If he was in Brown and Gold of course we would cheer for him, but I if there is going to be a thread on goals to cheer for from the Granny.. there is 21 other goals much better and much more worthy than McGlynns that need their own thread on this board!!

 

[Roddy]

Benny who?

I was thinking the same thing as I took a rare break from watching the GF and watched the R18 match last night .

Benny who?

Benny Hill I think, after all if you played the Benny Hill theme the Sydney players look funny chasing after Hawks all day

5.4

That was Sydney's scoreline for the day without McGlynn, Franklin and Kennedy. Ouch.

 

[Sixpence]

Why deny Benny's only highlight for the day.

Wouldn't say that. He had a pretty good seat to see Hodge's intercept goal.

5.4

That was Sydney's scoreline for the day without McGlynn, Franklin and Kennedy. Ouch.

That's actually more than I would have thought!

I still care.

If anyone deserved to take a hanger and nail a goal after the siren it's the Spang.

 

[Rioli2Gunstall]

You think this is bad watch the last quarter of the 2011 prelim, we got shafted! If its shepherded through for goal the umps let anything go, always have, as i said 2011 prelim is a great example, Gibbo is being raped on the goal line.
