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"?

    Wow. I didn’t see the game but i just saw a slo mo

    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.

    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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
