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. 

 

You can’t script this [censored] 🤣🤣…honestly.


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.

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

Captain’s challenge time.
I want to see how the AFL tick this one off

Umpire called it like in our game & the Ark is still a piece of sh1te.

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. .

Overturn the Decision. It’s blatantly wrong 


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.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
