AFL now 'fixes' the problem. Good stuff. Can't wait till we find out there was a missing pointpost at the Gabba this week after a would be winning point was given out of bounds.

Definitely a no to all. An up and running Watts is the only scenario I'd remotely consider but what's the point? Always felt for the guy and I don't think I've ever heard the term "No.1 pick" and his name mentioned in the same sentence more than any other player who had that title. By our fans and other fans alike. It was unfair but we've moved on.

We all know that if they start dishing out suspensions it will stop these acts dead in their tracks yet all I hear from the experts on acts like these is "Nah no suspension, should just get a fine". These people are usually the same ones calling for the harder penalties and saying fines do nothing. Too much foot in both camps for me. Get serious AFL or go home.

We've all seen too much haven't we Dee Zephyr! I was having flashes of Joey Montagna breaking the line and running into the open goal in those dying seconds!

I'll get into it soon Gorg, not sure how the two teams format will go but definitely willing to see how it goes.

How are the Chelsea fans feeling about this season? Certainly building a neat squad. Should Abraham be worried with the arrival of Werner or can they fit both in? I think they might be another year off being a serious contender but after that watch out!

Great, another thing that could have potentially broken our hearts! Turf the protected zone.

So many different elements go into the media product as a whole so I'm not going to give a blanket statement and say it's poor or it's brilliant. I think for the most part from what I've seen video content has been pretty good but with really only a basic knowledge of this area I can't really comment too much. I think it's important to keep producing this content internally but I won't slam the idea of outsourcing if there's a possibility it can produce results. Keen to hear more from people like Lord Nev who are in the know

I love the Adelaide Oval idea. Turn it into a fortress!

Come on West Coast towel them up.

I look at that club during that period and see the hard decisions that were made more so than the one veteran out of 5 they decided to keep on for another year. It's a good example of retaining a veteran but still a forward thinking club culture.

Fair enough but a Blues win would have had them level with us. Definitely a good result if they could have knocked off Collingwood as more places in the 8 would have been up for grabs but with Carlton having some winnable games coming up that could have been iffy.

Was lost for words, such a joke.

Hope there's a goal line blunder.

I would really hope we can find a way to do this and would love it if we can make it happen, just seems like the circumstances will make it very difficult. All comes down to the list manager and how next season will be played I guess.

Beats a game and a half break on us.

The guy can play, has a bit of much needed speed too. He also just has those natural smarts and knows where to be.

Wow, so on 7 News tonight one of the stories will be the action the AFL are taking after a goal line 'blunder' in our game. Absolutely unbelievable, storm meet teacup.

Just do a draw

Simple question really, what do we want to stand for? Do we want to be hell bent on making finals and taking the club another step forward or do we want to get a legend of the club to 300 games and honour him the way he deserves? I'm not suggesting anyone is wrong for wanting one or the other but I feel it usually comes down to one and rarely both. I'd love nothing more than to see him get there and as many others have said if it weren't for list changes I'd say he'd have done enough for another year but at this stage I'd say he's up against it.

I'm not even convinced a goal line camera would have been able to see a finger bend back in better clarity than the angles we saw. Pretty confident they would have gone back to umpire's call anyway. Not that it matters but I've watched the real time footage from that view it looks like the ball bounces and hits the ground over the line then touched. Of course I'm willing to admit there's an outside possibility the ball was only 80% over the line and therefore touched but how any of these experts can definitively jump to this conclusion from the same footage is just silly.

Surely Lockhart back in.

Love Veritasium vids! This one didn't disappoint either.

The problem is that time and time again we only seem to made aware of these things after a controversial incident. If the AFL was hell bent on having score reviews there needs to be standards adhered to and resources made available across all AFL games. It really needs to be as standard as having enough goal umpire flags on hand and at the ground or making sure the white lines are painted correctly. To me saying they didn't have a goal line camera is really just saying that in the Alice they only have 3 goal umpire flags so he could only wave one.

Thank you Andy, Trac could easily have had 2 marks late in that game that were both called touched in a time where any jugglers seem to be paid marks. Very little talk about it and I thought Trac did well to defy the possible no call and kick the goal anyway.
