Every week the commentators say something was 'goal of the year'. It's like they've never watched footy before
Could Elliott win two awards and not really deserve either?

Goal was just like eddie betts last year vs Gold Coast, expect it was out of bounds.
Eddie didn't win neither will elliot
Eddie didn't win neither will elliot
It was a mark, but it didn't even win mark of the round, so how can he win mark of the year for it?
It wasn't a mark...

What about Garry Ablett Sr's mark of the year in '94 when he hardly touched it?
Neither will probably end up Elliots best for the year let alone the competitions.
It was probably as much a mark as Abblett's all those years ago and a couple of cappers were probably free kicks but who really cares. I'd rather err on the side of paying the marks than the other way around. Running out of bounce should be picked up though - although I don't really want to stop for video. Dale Thomas kicked a very similar one a few years back that wasn't out but was paid out. They get 'em wrong sometimes.

It wasn't a mark and it wasn't a goal but when Collingwood benefits, who cares?
That's simply "maximising revenue" so it's all good. I've been told we all benefit in such an outcome so "go Pies"!!!!

Correct but if it happened against Collingwood you know what you'd be hearing Eddie whinge and moan about for the next week.

I really think it's time St Kilda was folded. Put their fans out of misery.

I'd have a local club to still support unlike yourself.

Never had full control. If he had it, he wouldn't need to adjust his grip as if it bobbles out on impact with the ground It would still be paid.

I did laugh at good4footy liking this post.
If it's good4footy then it's good4Collingwood.
Go Pies.
Apart from that fact that he was 8ft in the air and didn't want to bust his head on landing

Doesn't deserve MOTY as he didn't control it. The umpire's stuff up benefited him.
RE: GOTY, he still kicked the goal and it is harder to kick a goal from outside the field of play than in, so the fact that he umpire called the ball inside the boundary when it looks a few inches out on replay benefited him in that he was allowed to kick for goal. I'd much rather a contentious GOTY contender be from a shot that is touch and go in the field of play when kicked and sailing through than have a ball punched on the line or hit the post etc. and be counted as a goal.

A solid point raised on AFL 360 last night - Why was there no review of Elliott's goal re: boundary line?
If we are going upstairs for everything else why not that?
