Opinion 2018 Non-Crows Discussion Thread

[Grooster24]

Was the score review original decision a goal?

Yep. No different to the BS one for Douglas. Difference is Douglas was inconclusive - initial goal umpire decision stands
West Coast - conclusive. Was a goal.

 

[WetCrow1991]

I reckon he goes alright

Alright being the extent of it.

 

[GreyCrow]

No Ablett , No Geelong

 

[Grooster24]

There better be an uproar in the media this week about score reviews. Obviously there Hawks v Tigers will be the main one due to the big stuff up. But ours and West Coasts need to be discussed. I think there was a poor one in the powa v Lions game also.

Not sure how that "Douglas goal" was disallowed being conclusive on the replay.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

God I hope Geelong go 1-2 after 3 rounds.

 

[Drummond]

Shannon Hurn is a dud.

 

[Tyls83]

Hopefully Dwayne is in “position 1a” for a heart breaking loss

 

[deeztreez]

Damn...that goal umpire is a hottie

 

[arrowman]

What 4 games did we get this week?

I'm pretty sure it's 4 games most weeks..

 

[Mr_Moogle]

It does my absolute head in when players can just sit back and take the set shot from 10 , 20 or 30 metres out instead of playing on and stuffing up the play, e.g Chris Masten playing on from 5m out and having the ball touched or Joe Daniher passing the ball to Green but that was a fumble in the end in which stuffed momentum.

The play on at all costs mentality really shouldn't apply to forwards. It amazes me how often players sell themselves into trouble these days.

 

[Scorpus]

Eagles would still be well in front if that clear goal was correctly paid.

Disgraceful

 

[Aaron929]

Eagles momentum has gone after that score review. Cats will win this

 

[Grooster24]

Argghhh. This is beyond a joke. F Off.

And for Hawkins to fist pump after the kick when he would clearly see it being touched. What a wank

 

[NikkiNoo]

Now another score review where the field umpire was certain it was touched, but obviously one of the other field umpires wanted it to be a Cats goal.

 

[Tyls83]

Argghhh. This is beyond sa joke. F Off.

And for Hawkins to fist pump after the kick when he would clearly see it being touched. What a wank

To be fair he has been paid goals at vital times in a grand final that clearly hit the post

 

[Elite Crow]

It’s time to get rid of the score review. It’s added nothing to the game and we are still getting the same number of errors.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

The score review was farcical but it's no excuse for what West Coast are dishing up in this second half.

It’s time to get rid of the score review. It’s added nothing to the game and we are still getting the same number of errors.

They are trying to mimic cricket but they don't have the tools to make it work. There is no snicko, hot-spot etc. so it's never going to work. Weird thing is it seems to have actually gotten worse this year. I don't remember them being this bad last year.

We've been on the wrong end of a few poor score review decisions as well.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

What got missed in the Douglas goal review was what a PATHETIC left foot Dougie has!

Goal review shouldn't have been an issue

 

[CrowinNT]

Geez this umpire reviewing is becoming even a more joke.
Hawkins was a point. Read McGoverns lips " FFS c'mon"

 

[Drummond]

Hahaha Cripps is a true spud.

 

[pjcrows]

Get rid of the score review. The AFL can't get basic decision making correct and consistent, so why do we think they could handle an on-the-spot camera review?

The league is a farce.

Disgraceful

Only explanation I can come up with is that the video replay official is a Cats fan.

Anyone who doesn’t think the AFL are corrupt are kidding themselves.
