Do Goal Umpires have the power to say to the FU's that there is no review?

Typical of the AFL. The goal umpires 'frustrated' by being mocked for the tsunami of reviews, had to lean on the AFL to admit it was an AFL policy.  Why couldn't they announce that upfront.

Spot on. 

And if goal umpires have to call for a review if the ball goes near the posts or over the line, then why have goal umpires at all?

Didn't Binners call for the rule that even if the ball brushes the post on the way through it's still a goal.

It would save a lot of time.

honestly id back the goal umpires in. 

id do it like cricket. each team gets 1 and 1 ONLY (unless correct) to do a score review. 

anyone can call it. but youre not going to call it unless youre absolutely sure.

get it wrong and waste it? you dont get any more.

Yes...one has to think common sense, but no this is the AFL.  And since every goal is reviewed before the next bounce, why do a review on the spot and waste time?

If they review every goal, then do they review goals that go through the high-diddle-diddle at the height of the top of the posts? Maybe a seagull touched it.

And, by the way, how did the more senior goal umpires from earlier times in their white coats and hats manage to get is so right without the benefit of modern technology. It must have been good eyesight and good positioning as well as cooperation with the field umpires.

Who would have guessed?

I said it at the time and history is bearing it out: the introduction of video technology for umpiring decisions is antithetical to the human nature of sport and does nothing but open a can of worms that need not have been opened.  We’d never use technology to replace a kick for goal, so why would we do it to replace a decision on the accuracy of the goal?

George said something in the pod I hadn't considered: The score reviews mean that the goal umpires have altered the position that they stand behind the goal when judging. No longer are they directly behind and that makes no sense.

If it were up to me I'd do the same. Back goal umpires in footy, umpires in cricket, refs and linesmen in soccer. I don't care if it's a 10% improvement on correct calls whatever it is currently is not enough for the sake of stopping a game that long and sucking out the joy for fans.

I've opened a can of worms. They just sit there, the worms. Hardly the chaos that's been advertised.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
