Now that we have the example of a goal review being reviewed and overturned after Hawthorn players shouted their disbelief loudly enough (as reasonable as that was), will be now be treated to endless bogus passionate calls to review the review?   The AFL must stamp that out if it occurs.  But how?

by not declaring goal or behind

instead just inform umpiring that 'ball was touched by xxxx player' or 'kicked by player xxxx and not touched' or evidence was inconclusive as to whether ball was touched by player xxxx' etc etc

i.e. just give the umpire the clarification he requested (and leave the scoreboard pyrotechnics to cricket.

Goal reviews should be for one purpose only - to correct an egregious and obvious mistake by the umpires, for example the ball passing on the other side of the post, a deflection of the ball (not a deflection of the nail on the little finger), the ball clearing the line before being touched, who kicked the ball in a pack.

Goal reviews should not be used to ensure perfection in umpiring. If it is, then get rid of the goal umpires and let the field umpires signal clear goals and let the video review decide on the others.

Reviews should be automatic and immediate whenever the video umpire considers that an egregious mistake has been made. Otherwise, instruct the goal umpires (if they are to be retained because of their antics in signalling scores) to make decisions and stick with them.

Spot on Tiers ... some of those goal reviews over the weekend were pure conjecture from what I could see.

To over rule the umpire there must be absolutely clear evidence. From what I saw that was lacking in at least a couple of reviews over the weekend.

They also take too long. The very fact that they take so long means the video is not conclusive and should therefore be umpires call.

We may as well do away with the goal umpire and have it called from a vault in AFL house the way it is going.

If the ball is touched on the mark but the field umpire does not rule this happened then it should not be looked at in a score review. There should also be a 60 second limit where if it cannot be decided then 'Umpires Call' is the decision.

They should gaffer tape a couple of IPhones to the posts, much better clarity than the crap they use now.

Depends who is playing. Seems when the Pies are playing it looks badly pixellated but for others it is crystal clear.

Agreed.

When you see the technology available to the cricket umpires / telecasters, you shake your head at disbelief when you see the standard the AFL dishes up.

 

In response to the OP, the field umpires looked equally perplexed by the decision on Monday, i’d say that’s the real reason the review was reviewed.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
