Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 23 - Crows v Swans Sat Aug 19th 7:40pm EST (AO)

[SpiritOfCarlton]

Nicks is an AFL patsy in the press conference.

Knows where his bread is buttered.

 

[Marmozet]

If you don’t reckon it was a point, then read the paper tomorrow and it’ll definitely be a point.

Nicks holding back

F'n soft.
What good is a process and a sorry when you're out of finals contention.

Instead he wants to bang on about development and a dead rubber next week.

Id be fuming if I was a crows supporter right now

 

[sobrave]

“Lost it in quarter one and two.”

- Nicks

I mean he's right, finals on the line and they absolutely got flogged in the first half

 

[Tasfut]

Shame Nicks is acting so calm and composed
It would have been nice to see even more chaos

 

[bertamcberta]

Well done AFL your system sucks and it just ended a season.

Your season was over before this game. Yes, you was robbed, but you most likely aren’t making the finals with a win anyway.

 

[Vindicater]

The AFL will clear it off as the right call... you can see it.

 

[ptrg]

The photos don't even do it justice.
The front on angle is in HD slow-mo and there a clear air gap the entire time

 

[sherb]

The biggest travesty is listening to the gutless cowardly commentary team being completely non-committal to the obvious fact that the ball had daylight to the post and was nowhere near the padding and therefore a clear goal. The AFL clearly have all of them by the balls. Thou shalt not ctiticise for fear of reprisal. And so the problem continues..........

That's been a problem for a long time.

 

[Antzzz]

Another AFL s**t show

 

[speedy]

At least Keys was celebrating what should have been a goal. Florent was doing the horizontal tango with a teammate after his non-score.

 

[zyzzbruh]

Even if it went for review, with the rubbish footage we've got it would've been called inconclusive. Swans player smacked into the post so the edge would've been spiked anyway. Would've been umpires call and a behind.

Adelaide have likely been shafted by technology, not process. Which should not happen in a multi billion dollar industry. How much does a solid camera cost? 2-3k each? A few on each end of the ground at each venue wouldn't cost anymore than 200k total.

All that aside, the crows season didnt come down to one decision in one game. If you focus on one decision then you need to focus on every decision in every game across the season because even round 1 decides the final 8. Every team has been shafted at one point or another. The crows only had to be one win better across the last 20 which they failed at..

Yeah it was the gap between frames two and three that I thought opened the door for it to clip the post, but that sync shows it had passed the post by that point, making it impossible.

Weird that both umpire and Lloyd were immediately convinced, clearly something gave that impression, but it's also clearly not hit the post.

Nicks holding back

Given the circumstances this is one of the classier pressers I’ve ever seen

 

[twiggy4PM]

Nah. There's a point in the front-on view where the ball goes from being angled forward to being angled backwards, and in between frames the point of the ball might have arced out enough to clip the post if it was passing the post at exactly that moment.

But if that screenshot shows an accurate sync between the two angles, then it conclusively shows that isn't the case.

I suppose that if Newtons Law of Motion ceased to apply and the ball somehow jumped sideways and then teleported back to its original position and trajectory in between frames then your theory may be plausible.

 

[nut]

It certainly is fun when you watch your team receive 4 free kicks in an entire game (Geelong tonight). Correction, one was overturned, so 3 in the whole game.

AFL will review it and tick it off.

It Must be the way you play …..

Oh ffs.

It's a goal, a howler. You benefitted, stop trying to prove that an elephant can hang off the edge of a cliff with its tail tied to a daisy if the wind is strong enough.

 

[bertamcberta]

Crazy if the goal umpire did their job and the field umpire x 4 saw Dawson assaulted in the head we may just have won 2 of them

Dawson should have been pinged for htb earlier but gets a mystery for free for a high tackle. Crows had best of decisions after Swans got some cheap calls earlier in the game. Umps clearly don’t like getting booed.

 

[Elixuh]

Just been listening to 5aa callins, has been top shelf. Clearly a goal. What a diabolical system.

 

[Flog_Toolist]

Will the gambling companies refund the punters who backed the Crows?

 

[ptrg]

Air gap the entire time, with no point in time showing the ball overlapping any part of the post.
(it passes the line well before you see the padding)

This is the problem nobody every says anything because they get scared of a fine

Simply needed favourites to win the remaining relevant matches for us to snatch 8th. Not a sure thing, not a total stretch either.

Yeah you can throw as many reverse uno cards as you like but you won't achieve equivalency here mate

Ummm, read again, I'm saying the goal umpire got it wrong. The front on vision has one potential point of ambiguity, but the sync resolves that and conclusively shows it didn't hit the post.

Jeremy Cameron says hi.

Naa this was 10x worse
