Is it just an optical illusion? It looked like the Melbourne players celebrated quickly to influence the goal umpire's call.

A spinning football striking a post will accelerate because the energy of the spin is transferred to the ball's speed.
The impact increases the speed.
Like a cricket ball spinning at high rpm, hitting a spot on a pitch, will accelerate.
Are you a physicist? Because that sounds like rubbish to me.
it's called Conservation of Momentum, and is contained within Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion: the law of inertia
It's very simple physics, my Renaissance friend
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.
