Does anyone have video of Mooney's controversial in the back

kosifantutti23 · Sat 04 Sep 2010 4:52pm

Geelong's first goal.

Gilbert flying for the ball, Mooney decides he can't compete and just cannons in to his back. The ball goes over the back for an easy Stokes goal.

If you are struggling to find it, it's about 10 seconds after Gary Ablett gets an incredibly soft free for holding at a stoppage.

Those bigpond / afl links won't work overseas. And I was talking about Geelong's first goal in the first quarter.

I remember thinking that too. He was either pushed in the back or has one of the most unorthodox attempts at mark I've ever seen.

I found the video and a few more bits and pieces as well.

The biggest problem that Geelong should be focusing on isn't the push in the back, it's the 7 shots on goal they missed! Great pressure Saints!!!

I know it's been posted somewhere else, but it's interesting that Zac took the free.

He may have got a bit of a push (also by Mooney) just before Jimmy, but if the free was paid to Zac it was pretty soft and the whistle was very late.

Anyone know what happened there?

i was fairly sure it was a down-field free kick. jimmy was infringed against after he got rid of the ball, so the free goes to the place where it went afterwards. that happened to be right next to him, and zac was the closest player to that.

Yes I recall the discussion now. But if you go back to the video, by the time Jimmy was tackled the ball had gone way past Zac (who I think had gone to ground) and both Blake and BJ were much closer to the play and to where the ball went. I'm still puzzled by this, and I wonder whether he actually paid the free to Zac and just couldn't get his whistle to his mouth!.

Pretty sure the AFL came and out said it was the correct decision and it was in the back to Gwilt.

So the umpire payed a free "downfield" when it had gone backwards, and to the wrong player? Blake was behind Jimmy and BJ was goalside of him. Zac was behind Blake.
