No thanks. AFL can't even get the score review right.

 

[The 747]

Nah, need multiball.

I keep hearing that. Feels like hyperbole to me.

Felt like it's helped out a lot and got those close calls right pretty much most of the time.

What and review every single goal cause a incident that happened up the field needs to be reviewed, before the goal was kicked?

Time-on would go on that long, we'll miss the last train from Richmond.

Technology won’t solve the current umpiring woes. Last night is just a symptom of the more general problem that the AFL has been so hell bent on creating new rules about 666, stand, lack of intent, ruck nomination, 3rd man up etc that the basic rules of footy are de-emphasised to the point that they are almost forgotten. I thought that the lack of clarity around HTB, incorrect disposal etc was bad, but apparently the umps don’t even know when a ball is in and out of play!

No. if a boundary umpire can't see a ball marked out of bounds when he's standing on the line 2 metres away, and if a bloke whose out of bounds can handball to another bloke almost leaning on the fence, we have a bigger problem. Not surprisingly, the decisions both involved the same player. Seems the umpires have fallen for the same hyped-up idol worship surrounding a couple of high-profile players from a bottom half side. When half the commentary team are their mates I guess its a bit predictable.

time for AFL to "borrow" another idea from the NRL and institute a "captain's challenge" (just kidding, don't do this!)

 

[Power Raid]

The same player had a number of umpire decisions landing in his favour

Interesting

Yep it would have been nice if Jordan Dawson got his free kick 35m out after the siren when his face was smashed by a Collingwood defender a couple of rounds ago, cost Adelaide a win

 

[maskmcgee]

Easier and better to just kick Collingwood out of the comp

Good call. I was at the game and spotted the error sitting in a stand 100m away. I was shocked when watching the replay that the morons in the commentary box didn't even notice , then had to say why is the crowd booing ? Then ask each other what the rules were about handballing a ball to a player out of ******* bounds only to conclude it was "technically" out of play , what the hell

Sounds like a plotline from Sons and Daughters.

Two of the worst decisions I've seen in many a year.

I was flabbergasted when they allowed that handball to go ahead, the AFL is bordering on corrupt if they allow that sort of s**t to go on.

What's the point in having four field umpires if the ycan't get the basics like that right ??

As I said, still cant get it right

Time for goal umpires to be demoted to nothing more than flag wavers.

Send everything for review.

But get some ******* proper cameras.
