It would be a simple fix with cameras in the top of the post looking directly up. Regardless of the angle that the ball comes in, you can tell which side of the post it’s going πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

They also need to up the resolution on all their other cameras.

Clearely Lynch thought he'd missed it. 

I don't think that is clear.  He may have just been unsure where it had gone.  And it seems he would have been right to be unsure.

I am sure that he was not unsure and even surer that his team mates were sure, as they all went to the defensive positions for the kick out for a point. I am also sure that no Tiger celebrated the kick, nor did any Lion seem upset that he had goaled.

I am unsure if the ARC also had a better angle that hasn’t been shown publicly but am sure that the ARC was very sure as the decision was given quite quickly.

When he kicked it I said straight away he had missed and that was the reaction of all the players.

If the post extended up to the level the ball went through I'm very confident some part of the spinning ball would have touched the post.  It doesn't have to flush the post to be a behind.  I think the ARC made the right decision on the evidence.

I just don't see how anyone can be sure if a ball would have touched the goal post if the post was 10 metres longer.    So if all players acted as if it was a point, I'd think it's more likely to assume they thought it missed by quite a lot. Maybe it did.

I expect the speed of the ARC's decision related more to the reaction of players (which they are on record as taking into account) than any video we saw.

I'm surprised at people who say they definitely saw that it went over post.  The ball can appear to go over a post after it has gone past the goal line.  Impossible to be sure without views from more than one direction.

The goal umpire got it wrong, I don't know how as he should have been positioned near that post. and watched it go over the top of the post..

I could see on tv it was a point, Lynch didn't think it was a goal and the ARC agreed.  If he had kicked it he would have gone nuts given the lead it gave them with the remaining time.

Either way, its done, and they'll need to play the swans next Friday.  :)

Perhaps ARC need to take submissions from the crowd.

That's looks like a point, it curls up over the post and then turns after it.

Last night was a battle between Swiss cheese defences. Jarlsberg versus Emmental. 

Tiger fans on the radio this morning were Emmental as anything about that disallowed "goal".

I must admit this gave me a chuckle:

 

May be an image of 4 people, people playing sports and text that says 'LiSTNR 12 AFL XL EXPRESS YDDE TAUBAAH TAUBIA, Ronny Lerner @RonnyLerner Darcy Wilmot has won more finals than Essendon since 2004. Ouch #AFLFinals #AFLLionsTigers TRIPL Ϋ³ΫΈ ROCKSFOOTY'

It would be the same on here if it happened to us. 

More new video above and I continue to be amazed how definite people can be interpreting a poor 2D image as if it gave solid 3D positional and timing information.

(Do I have to add I was more than pleased Richmond lost?)

When a player is shooting from so close to goal, the goal umpire has to make a judgement on where best to stand.  If the kicker misses either way, there is no way they can be in the right position 100% of the time.  Boundary umpires on the behind posts assist, but in the split second from Lynchs boot to it crossing the line the goal umpire simply cant be in the right place all the time, and it becomes a judgement call.  Only way to cover both goal posts is to have an umpire under each post.

the goal umpire should have said he wasn't sure either way. he certainly wasn't in the best position (no fault of his)

The goal umpire at the opposite end did magnificent positioning work for the Daniher goal - no review required.

The camera angles are time synchronised, so when 3 different angles show the ball over the post at the same time, for me that’s definitive proof it was a behind.  Basic triangulation (geometry).

The goal umpire did not get into the perfect position to see for sure (no fault of his as it happened so fast), and I think there needs to be a change to the rule when this happens.  They should not have to give a soft call if they know they weren’t in a position to make a solid call.  Make a null call and let the ARC make a call.

The fact is it’s not definitive and this angle is more definitive either way than what ARC had. There is no way they can say with certainty with their angles that it was or wasn’t a goal. The goal umpire’s decision should have stood. 

Having said that I’m very happy Richmond lost.

I agree but I think they are bound to make a "soft call"  according to the rules

Plus a very underdone Dusty Martin.

Looked a shadow of himself. I think that's the last game we'll see him in yellow and black.

I heard the same from a very good source this morning Dazzle. Positive that Dusty won't be at Punt Rd. next year. Mail is usually on the money, I suppose we just have to wait and see.

if there was no arc that would make sense

with arc, not really needed, or he should be able to give a soft call and qualify it with doubt to enable the arc to use an easier set of rules to override (i.e. not necessarily definitive but balance of probability

And therein lies the problem.  Viewing the same footage, looks clearly over the post to me!

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
