Which team, year, result and opponents had a penalty goal disallowed in a final, despite both touch judges judging the goal successful? :lol:

I think it was Souths/Canterbury Grand Final, where Kevin Longbottom's goal was denied by the referee, after the touchies both put their flags up and weren't sure.

That may be correct, but unfortunately not the game I'm after.

I can't remember who it was. At first I thought it may have been Herb Brackenreg in 1908 for Easts, but I'm pretty sure he just plain up missed.

For some odd reason I think it might have been Alf Blair for Souths in one of their final wins in the 1920's

Aug 30. 1919

Balmain 13-4 Easts.

None other than the legendary Dally Messenger was denied a goal by referee Tom McMahon, despite both touch judges raising their flags to signal a fair goal. McMahon claimed the ball sailed wide of the posts, Balmain led 6-2 at the time.

Im not sure. Maybe it was the game to decide who the minor premiers would be (and also eventual premiers).

It was still awesome trivia though ;-)
