gets a great crumb and snap, cheer squad goes up, ump signals the goal. Happy days.

But there's a problem, the ball was touched off the boot, and everyone knows it. Moore signals touched to his teammates and everyone sets up for a kick in. Somehow in the rigid process of a goal review with umpires call, they can't get it right. Video inconclusive, goal stands, yet clearly doesn't pass the sniff test. How can they guard against such embarrassment with finals around the corner?

You can see his fingers move. Strange decision, especially when Moore signaled it too. I think you can trust the forward to get it right.

Reminds me of the game when a Freo player was pushed having a shot on goal and the umpire asked the Essendon defender if he would like the player to have another shot or take the advantage and point. The defender was happy with the point.
