They got the Richmond - Higgins goal wrong. I can't understand how they overruled the umpires call on this one. The AFL have invested very little in terms of technology and it's extremely poor. This particular incident showed how fundamentally flawed the technology is. If the camera is mounted in the middle of the goal post, including padding then the angle between the camera and the ball will result in a margin of error dependent on the distance between the camera and the ball.
What options do we have to solve this issue?
My suggestion is to have a high speed camera system mounted behind each point post aligned with the padding of the goals. This would be much more accurate than the current inadequate system at present. When we see the reviews there is often at least 5-10cm in change between frames.
