    Thats why the goal umpire should only say goal or point  - please check if it was touched.

    Why bring a second fallible human into the equation. Just let the umpire make the call.

    That looked every bit a goal. 
    Daylight between ball and post, and it went over the padding.

    Impossible for crows to make it now so it absolutely cost them a chance at making it.

    That’s a gutsy call by the goal ump. Players  coming back at him, he’s unbalanced and makes the decision the ball has grazed the post.

    That was an even worse goal umpire call than ours last week. That they didn’t even go to a review is mind blowing. Terrible error of judgement.

    That is not good vision once again. It’s definitely not showing me a touch or spike on edge. Pathetic from the AFL. What an amateur league.

    Because that's the reason they brought the ARK into the game.

    Way above the padding.   

    Won't waste my time looking for the AFL response, which will be "nothing to see".  

    And the AFL have Sydney into finals, as they would like.  

    Still, hopefully SYD will be buggered next weekend - tough wet game, flight home etc/. Papley probably injured and McCartin maybe (though probably not given the stakes for AFL Sydney) suspended for his high hit in Q4.  

    It is well past time to change the rule so that wherever the ball ends up, that is the score.  Through the goals, goal.  Through the behind space, behind.    OOB, OOB.

    If it bounces back into play, maybe play on?

    Ok, so we’ve spent 10 years integrating this system and we’ve had 2 decisions in a row decided by an umpires mistake.

    So how is this better? Go back to the old system. I can’t handle another week of broadcasters telling me I’m not seeing what I can clearly see.

    A bit like us last week. 

    Can very well argue that’s cost Adelaide the game, and finals. On what I’ve seen online so far, that didn’t hit the post.

    But can also argue they lost it themselves. 4.8 in the last quarter to 0.1. And perhaps if they hadn’t fallen 44 down early.

    Last week on repeat. Should have been called a goal. Then check will show no evidence to overturn.

    Amateur hour.

    If it hit the padding it could only have been the back half.

    if the hole ball's crossed the line that doesn't count either does it?

    Where was the review?  The Fix continues!

    Man the crows just got robbed HARD. That was 100% a goal!!!!

    The worst part was 4-5 Crows players were too busy celebrating and that enabled the Swans to clear the ball from the kick in with ease really.

    I've no idea if it hit or not. maybe he heard a sound. he called it straight away.

    Potentially top 2 and Top 8 positions decided by poor ARC technology/procedures. It's simply not good enough.

    Either get better tech or let the humans make mistakes and don't review anything at all.

    in recognition of umpiring being  so pathetic, every game where the final result is less than 2 goals should be declared a draw

    call it score equalisation

    I thought the ball was deflected. The issue was confused by the commentators saying that it hit the padding which it clearly didn't.

    Nah hard disagree, that would happen a million times and it's on the umpire to make sure the decision is correct when it clearly doesn't touch the post. Should've reviewed it.

    I want players celebrating after goals, especially ones that are saving their season with 1 minute left after being down by 44 points...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
