Precisely. This seems to have been ignored. AFL needs to just spend the money and get it done right. There was a goal review on Sunday and I was wondering how much margin of error there was on the vision.I put this in the other thread...
This is for The AFL and Dimma.

I worked it out at 11% angle for the Higgins example, but I realized it was probably about 9% for the long view, and would have been +15% for the short side.
It's so very basic for two very simple reasons!
Now for a question, if you want to get a veiw of the very back edge of the post/padding, why is the camera placed in the center of the goal post?
Steve Hocking has come out today to back the technology saying that the Higgins decision was correct - it was touched.
I suggest Mr Hocking should head to his local Specsavers or OPSM, because something is not right with his vision.
#nofreekickrichmond ....something very very fishy is going on with the umpires fraternity..."The Richmond Football Club has had score reviews in its games in the first part of the season that the AFL acknowledges were not performed to the expected standard."

Thank you Garry. Now, about that -62 free kick differential...
Why can't the touched goal be overturned and Collingwood awarded the game retrospectively the same way the result of the St. Kilda vs Freo game in Tassie was overturned in 2006?
I do wonder why...
But let's forget that silly idea and think about this!
Can anyone categorically confirm that Collingwood would have won the game if the goal was correctly overturned halfway through the 3rd quarter?

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.
I reckon if you looked at all the reviews, most of the time the Umpires initial decision was the correct call. I wouldn't mind if they just scrapped the review altogether or let players challenge it. I don't understand the point in reviewing a decision to see if it was touched when a defender hasn't even appealed.I don’t understand the angst
More decisions are being corrected with technology than before the technology
Even the three decisions in the past week - under the old way - still wouldn’t have been correct
Rather than setting perfection as your benchmark - it should be set at improvement
Issues are mainly when a correct decision gets overturned and becomes incorrect - this happens very rarely
However an incorrect decision remaining incorrect is no worse than it would be without tech
I understand the system is not going to be 100% fool proof....but when they have vision that shows the wrong call has been made and they don't use that vision then its going to cause angst...but we roll onI don’t understand the angst

no apology either. and against the cats as well. could they be kissed on the dick anymore than they already are? something fishy alright...Richmond on the end of yet another dodgy decision by the third umpires.
Something smells rotten.
good point. are they actually trained to perform their role in an impartial way or are they just a bunch of geelol fan bois ? who knows!Reckon we've got about half a dozen admissions of mistakes from the AFL in Dimma's time, as well as a number of denials that didn't wash.
Are these video guys actually umpires? Or are they part-time footy fans who might be letting biases interfere with their decisions?
Are you a parody?Richmond on the end of yet another dodgy decision by the third umpires.
