perhaps i'm getting thin skinned as the years advance, but i've become fed up with all the asterix getting placed alongside our club's achievements
fat eddy's "gags" on the harmes tap have had their desired result. it's accepted by the footy community that the ball was out AND that sheldon's goal was the winner. i even heard that big mouth andrew gaze refer to the 79 win as cheating
going by fat eddy's comments on ch 10 last night, his effort to discredit judd's brownlow win last year isn't about to stop any time soon. he premiered his new gag for it last night, that it was lovely to see judd finally present swan with last years medal.
fat billy brownless makes no secret of his desire to have the 95 flag stripped from us ... no-one seems to ever tell billy that the breaches didn't cover that period ... unlike Essendon* in 93

I would hardly be worrying about what Billy Brownless (and particularly Andrew Gaze

) think about our achievements.
I actually didn't mind that gag from Eddie, it's just a bit of banter, no point taking it too seriously.
As for the actual Harmes incident, in sport, the whole ball has to have crossed the whole line in order for it to be out of play. Unless it can be shown conclusively that the whole ball crossed the whole line, the ball can't be deemed to have gone out of play. As this can't be shown conclusively, the ball is in play and the goal is legitimate.
