Once again crucial results decided by goal umpires being piled on by 9 players and goal line technology proudly brought to you by Nokia 3310

    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... 

    Hard disagree? I’m saying it was very unfortunate there was no review. I’m not having a go at the Crows players, it was a clear goal. They had no time to set up.

    Oh shoot my bad, I thought you were saying they should have been waiting for the goal. My apologies!

     

    In that case you’re 100% right and I agree!

    This one is worse than ours:

    On (competent) ARC review the aligned angles show the ball clears the back of the post before it could possibly have touched it. Clears the padding, too.

    Unfortunately the way the system is, the umpire makes a call and has the option to say they want to check to see if xyz.

    I believe goals are reviewed. The fact points aren't reviewed especially a critical point like this one is just plain idiocy from a policy perspective.

    Jesus if I were an Adelaide fan I’d be absolutely ropeable. That has cost them finals (likely, but not certainly), and unlike last week the system should have fixed it if it had been properly used.

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

    Apparently the swans player slapped the padding at the exact time - meaning the spike on edge was also rendered useless 

    Absolute farce

    Absolutely disgraceful. The AFL is a corrupt, incompetent, joke of an organization.

    How silly do all those neutral(&Carlton) supporters from last week look now when they were saying "just go with the goal umpires decision because he is in the best position"?

    Adelaide have been robbed September. That is pathetic. FIX IT UP AFL

    So did the goal umpire hear the players hand on the goal post & think it was the footy hitting it?

    Gutsy call but he was right there.

    Adelaide would be spewing. They have West coast next week.

    I wish we did. This technology interference in its current state has made things so much worse.

    These decisions should be overturned, It’s time the suits at AFL HOUSE did something constructive apart from paying themselves

    But they didn't use the ARK and that's the issue. Maybe the goal Ump thought no point using the ARK they just get it wrong any way like last week. .

    Well I am just happy Geelong lost and will not make the 8. Excellent. 

    As for peeing and moaning about the Adelaide goal I am glad they lost. Their supporters are an incredible pack of [censored] and they can rot down the bottem end of the ladder for ever.

    You can't,  but I wonder what would have happened if it had been a kick after the siren.

    I simply don't go along with those who yell "corrupt AFL" whenever a poor decision is made. I believe umpires are doing their best to be strictly fair, knowing that they can be judged by TV replays. But incompetence is another matter. That last-minute shot was clearly a goal. And since it would almost certainly have been a game-decider, any goal umpire worth his salt would have asked for a replay to be certain of the right call. Getting a 50-50 decision wrong in midfield is understandable, but not when it comes to a match-deciding goal-line moment with finals spots on the line.

    I agree with that but it adds fire to what happened to us last week.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
