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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
