Yeah that kick after the siren of Peter Riccardi's was dropped perfectly on the boot, but tumbled through the air worse than any Kernahan helicopter, clearly touched.
As for Michael Longs run and goal. Umpires too caught up in the theatre of the moment to deflate everyone by calling it touched. However, nothing would have helped us that day. Worst day at the football ever. We were gone 10 minutes into the first quarter when Wallis flattened Hanna off the ball and not one single Carlton player remonstrated
We had one go our way much earlier, dying minutes of the 1970GF, Blues 4 points up, ball deep into the Collingwood forward line, McKenna clearly pushed in the back, play on, ball rebounds forward of centre, Jezza swoops, left foot snap, bounced 40 yards end over end. Sealer. Collingwood fans go absolutely ape shit. Carlton fans go to Heaven.
Nothing to see in 1979 with Harmes Sheldon, ball clearly in.
I am outraged that you have even mentioned it - its a non issue
Not going to argue if he was pushed or had the ball punched but I reckon he held it long enough to be awarded the mark. Yeah I was there along with all the other great CFC moments. of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
70 was the game my older brother left in disgust at half time. He got home half way through the last quarter put the radio on and taped Harry Beitzel and especially Jezza's goal.
It's bouncing, it's bouncing, it's bouncing, it's bounced through. Carlton are going to win the Premiership. They're blah, blah, blah.I still play it sometimes. Not recently as I think the tape is so brittle now I'm scared it would just crack.
Oh what a day.
