Looks like I don't need to. The AFL admitted they got it wrong. Just looked over the highlights that you or anyone else can see, and yep, in the exact spot I pointed out.

They measured it on FoxFooty guys, it was 21.8 or something metres. Just a tad under 22 metres, put your rulers away.

Even though the AFL admit a fook up, once again this just disguises Chris Scott's ineptitude . This incident did not cost Geelong the game

It’s amazing anyone dare criticise the umpires and it’s fire and brimstone, but the betting company board member can say the umps got ittwrong

The umpire called play on for something. The commentators were speculating that it was not 15m because they couldn't hear it.
To me it sounded like he said touched. The umps are mic'd. Have they spoken to the umpire or isolated the ump's mic to find out what he was calling?
If he called not 15, then fair enough, they got it wrong. If he called touched, then it literally makes no difference how far it went.
Was a shocking one in the Blues v Dons game. Essendon player barely kicked it 9m right near our goals and was allowed as a mark.

Terrible call by ump because it’s actually less than 10 metres the way it’s officiated. no other mark from 14 metre kick is called play on. Plus this ball also had hand time in the air.
There is footage from behind the goal of the umpire closest to the ball off the boot signalling "touched".
It's unabmiguous unlike the audio.
And yet the AFL have acknowledged they got it wrong and the Cameron mark should have been paid.
Except of course that it did cos if it was called correctly then geelong probably win. That’s what costing a game is.
Yeah no he didn’t. Plus just watch the footage. Clearly not touched. If an umps called it touched then that was a howler too.

Here is more clear audio;
Very obvious 'play on not 15, play on not 15'
Regarding the umpire signalling touched, that is true but he was signalling touched before the player that kicked the ball even took possession so no idea how he could see into the future or he was signalling something else.
Probably win is a huge stretch.
They were cost a shot at goal, but to think Jeremy Cameron kicks that goal from that position, without the ability to run around off the line, is a massive assumption to make.
EDIT: I’d be far more filthy at Tom Hawkins’ effort in the last then any of the umpires. Missed some shots he should have got, and a dropped mark directly in front.
That wasn't holding the ball. If you want to see holding the ball I'd encourage you to watch the brisbane replay where blicavs got spun 720 and then just dropped the ball directly in front goal.
It’s a really weird call by the umpire
Sounds like “touched, play on, touched, play on, not 15, play on, not 15”
Sounds like the umpire just didn’t want Geelong to win and was desperately trying to find a reason. It was neither touched nor less then the required distance. not even close.
Some people need to understand what winning a game is. Winning a game means you win by 1 point or more. You don’t need to win by 4 goals plus to win.

Put on the tin foil hat
Both were clearly holding the ball.
you can’t just dive on the ball and literally do nothing. He didn’t even attempt one of those fake handball attempts that aren’t really attempts but made to look like one. He just sat there stone cold like a deer in the headlights.
ps. The Blicavs holding the ball situation (which was definitely both holding and throwing the ball) only happened cos the umpire didn’t pay a stone cold throw from neale 40 seconds earlier on the back flank. The ball should of been in geelongs fifty instead.
if Both games were umpired correctly in the last 2 mins then Geelong wins both games.
Well you explain it then? You can’t. Has anyone ever seen a kick with that distance and hang time not been a called a mark. I’ve never seen it. I’ve seen ones half the distance paid as marks though.
fairy tale swans win was about to happen. Umpires were spooked.
I believe the kick travelled further than 15m. It has been analysed to death.
I do not know whether or not it was touched, and I’m kind of sure the umpire called touched. I would like to see further analysis and better camera angles of it to find out.
