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

    THAT WAS A GOAL 

    2 weeks in a row they are just dead set WRONG

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
