"We were beaten by an opposition that were harder inside, that played with more energy, more dare and more aggression. In our brief conversation straight after the game we accepted that if we had have won that game with our efforts in the last quarter it would've gone against the trend and not really deserved it. The team that won at the end of the day was the one that earned it and deserved it." – Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley |
Media Clippings
Fox FootyMidway through the third term, (Michael) Walters had a shot on goal which went through the big sticks, with replays later confirming Collingwood veteran Chris Mayne had touched the ball off the boot. The goal was reviewed by the umpires, but the error wasn’t picked up until minutes later as play had resumed, with the review instead checking Magpie Steele Sidebottom’s attempt to spoil the ball on the line. “It was in the middle of a five-goal surge by the Fremantle Dockers,” North Melbourne champion David King explained on Fox Footy. “He (Walters) snaps the ball across his body and you can see the left hand I think it is of Chris Mayne. It just brushes the fingers. That’s clearly touched. “It was sent upstairs to be reviewed, the Collingwood players put themselves into a zone, they were adamant that it was touched. At that stage it was a six point margin and it brought the scores back to square and it kept Fremantle’s momentum going. “This is critical in a four point result. We’re talking about a high stakes industry. To not review that area of kick, they reviewed it on the line.” ... King was adamant a thorough review needed to be undertaken, whether it took an extra few seconds or not. “There’s only two points to check, if it takes an extra three seconds to get the decision right that is the whole reason why we have the score review in place,” he said. “The one on the line would’ve taken all of two seconds, it cleared the line by a metre. Collingwood players were adamant, all their hands went in the air, now that’s generally a pretty good guide. “We’re using common sense apparently with umpiring across the code, so why wouldn’t we use this or apply this in a score-review sense.” Collingwood News Nathan Buckley says Collingwood wouldn't have deserved to beat Fremantle, refusing to blame another goal review controversy as a factor in the defeat. The Pies were shocked at the MCG on Saturday, losing to the Dockers by four points after Michael Walters booted a goal with 30 seconds to go to put the visitors ahead. However, it was Walters' first goal – a spinning snap in the third term – that again highlighted the inconsistencies of the goal review system when Magpie Chris Mayne appeared to touch the kick off Walters' boot. It was one of a four-goal run the Dockers produced in the important third term that steeled them for the last-ditch win. Buckley questioned whether the kick had been scrutinised to the level required using the League's technology, but said his team would not have deserved to claim the win after their last-term fadeout. Wide World Of Sports Chris Mayne was adamant that he touched it, Nathan Buckley wasn't sure and Ross Lyon didn't care one way or the other. The AFL's score review system will be put under the microscope after a Michael Walters goal, touched off the boot. It was allowed to stand in Fremantle's thrilling four-point win over Collingwood at the MCG. Walters' brilliant snap in traffic levelled the scores and was the second of four unanswered goals in the pivotal third quarter of Saturday's clash. Players from both sides set up for a kick in, believing a behind would be declared after a video review showed fingers on Mayne's left hand bent back by the ball as he went to spoil the kick. But the review appeared to concentrate on Steele Sidebottom's desperate lunge on the goal line that clearly occurred behind the line. "There didn't seem to be a thorough review of it, so the umpires were either really clear that it wasn't touched or it wasn't looked at externally," Buckley told reporters after the match. "I'm not sure why it wasn't looked at closer. "It's probably a bit topical right now, isn't it? "We didn't deserve to win so you guys can have a look at the minutiae for me. "I'll leave you to sort that out - we didn't deserve to win today." The Age Collingwood have refused to blame the decision not to overturn a Michael Walters goal in the third quarter - which was touched off the boot - for their four-point loss to Fremantle at the MCG. Former Docker Chris Mayne did not hesitate after the game when asked whether he had touched the kick that curled through for a goal. "I definitely touched it. I was a bit shocked," Mayne said. "[Fremantle forward] Jesse Hogan was saying it was touched, funnily enough ... but there are moments throughout a whole game that come and go and in the end they were good enough to keep going for harder and longer and that is what happens." |
