If that’s the case, then, it’s clear that both Larkey and Curtis didn’t hear the whistle. There’s also an argument to suggest that JD’s shouting might have added to the ensuing mayhem, as both Nick and Paul would have been completely confused. Anyway, it’s irrelevant, isn’t it?Darling shouting “NICK ****ING STOP”
Darling then grabbed PC .. “ WTF ARE YOU DOING”
Jesus christ mate. Just enjoy the win.Darling shouting “NICK ****ING STOP”

....those blurred out a3 sized blue posters at the top have like max. 2 words on each.
Its not like they're containing the intricate details of secret gameplan strategies.
So... why would they bother?
I watched the replay today and the umps did similar things repeatedly, even when we still had an advantage.The funny thing is that 9 times out of 10 any umpire would’ve called ‘Play On’ for us, allowing us to shoot ourselves in the foot (normally typical for us) and the football world laughs at us BUT for once, that 1 in 10 time we got the call going our way and of course that stands out like a sore thumb.
I personally believe that the umpire waited to see if there was an advantage, to his eyes there wasn’t a clear one and he made the decision to bring it back himself - which he should have the power to do as an umpire, and I believe that’s normally the rule too, right?
In any case I’m glad Nick messed up the potential advantage so we could get that kick after the siren euphoria that will now live in NMFC history forever, and as Cam said post game “who cares we got the 4 points.”
Oh come on. You hear the whistle. Have a look at nicks face when he saw that ball bouncing away without a score. He knew himself. Seriously. Can we move on from this?If that’s the case, then, it’s clear that both Larkey and Curtis didn’t hear the whistle.

More likely you'd have gotten your nose honked, eyes poked or face slapped.Calling Larkey and Curtis the two stooges is such a keyboard warrior Generation Z level response
Would you say to Nick or Paul to their face
Hey you two stooges ...
No you wouldnt
Its so pathetic
In the 80s you would have got a punch in the mouth and you would have STFU
The official ruling is that Souva had a Mulligan and PC had the equivalent of an Airball on the Basketball Court. Umpire made the correct call, Bull kicked the goal and gave us all an iconic photo and Shinboner that only Viagra could dream about. Case closed and enjoy the win for what it is.Oh come on.

Yes, we should.Oh come on. You hear the whistle. Have a look at nicks face when he saw that ball bouncing away without a score. He knew himself. Seriously. Can we move on from this?
Conceding that no one on this forum could possibly be sure that Larkey heard the whistle would be a nice first step in moving on.Yes, we should.
You go first.
There is no way that went through for a point .. not even the great ronnie the rocket osullivan can curl a ball like that..The Curtis snap kick after Larkey aired it did go through for a point.
They're pissed because something something Sportsbet..So I take it they also focused on the 7 goals GC got from dodgy free kicks also....right? Right?
Pathetic AFL and umps are fuming we won that, to hell with em.
I agreeThere is no way that went through for a point .. not even the great ronnie the rocket osullivan can curl a ball like that..
Watched it 3 times. Still expect us to lose. The one thing that has escaped criticism here is how crap the handball was from Larkey in the last minute. He hits Curtis on the chest and he has time to goal but instead he hits him under waist high from 10 metres. Had we have lost the game that would have been a major talking point. I still cannot believe we won. Feels so good still.Just caught up and watched the second half - as others have said, even though I know what happens I’m watching and can’t believe we will win. Quite incredible effort and poise from so many players.
Yep was watching it live and my initial reaction was head in hands and muttering Larkey in frustration under my breath only to hear the crowd get up and about.Watched it 3 times.

Edit. I thought you were talking about the Spargo goal.Yep was watching it live and my initial reaction was head in hands and muttering Larkey in frustration under my breath only to hear the crowd get up and about.
Still the same reaction when watching the replay. Even at that point I still can't believe we won. Im still in delirium as the thread title suggests.
Watch it in slow motion 100% bounces backwards. It’s actually the very last frame. giantroo can you adjudicate?I agree
There is no footage of it going through
But if "play on" were called the Suns defenders would have cleared the ball as play wouldnt have stopped
Just watched it again, vid hereThere is no way that went through for a point .. not even the great ronnie the rocket osullivan can curl a ball like that..
