Play Nice Goal Umpire costs Adelaide a shot at finals, how do you stop it from happening again?

Scotty doesn't know

How does he not know?

Haha, Nicks is an AFL patsy.

This is pathetic viewing.

This is just WWE

Roll in Vince McMahon.

Umpire clearly made a mistake, a big mistake but for all those who want to pin him to a cross and crucify him, he has actually been let down by the system. Everyone who umpires or referees in any sport makes mistakes. The AFL is wealthy enough to have a system that should not make this possible. How many times do you see batsmen dismissed in cricket only to be called back because it was a no ball? Its not hard, I feel sorry for this umpire.......remember we need them for a game. It's the AFL who it at fault here.

Not sure if you've heard but they AFL have recently implemented a goal review system, so that the goal umpire can ask the video ump to check a decision if its tight and so they don't look like a fool.

Pull your heads in Sydney supporters. You had no right to win this game.

An absolute gift that the AFL will hopefully correct on Monday.

There is no chance of that. In 2019 when Rampe shook the post and a non- decision by the umpire cost Essendon the game (and ultimately affected the order of the final eight) Gil ticked off on it.

Yes, that’s exactly what the AFL does. With today’s case, they have a decision to make - do they care more about their image or the actual integrity of the sport? Let’s see what decision they make.

 

[Collingwoodity]

Nicks knows he might have to get future jobs in the AFL.

At least in Soccer we know they are all corrupt. Here AFL gives us the illusion that things are fair

Genuine question that I think will be whitewashed over the goal umpire decision.

Why didn't McAdam have a concussion test? Clear hit to the head, dazed yet not even come off the field for a quick test.

It was never near the padding.

Looked like it was on the front on replay.

They kept replaying it again and again after the game to see if it hit it. I just want to see the side on of that part to confirm it was definitely past the goal line as it reached the padding height.

Surely the footage is there if there are side on stills

 

[kaiserchief13]

That’s a still. We need footage so we can see the full journey of the ball pat the goal post.

Ben Keays goal

How do AFL deal with this? Clearly a goal. The front on slow-mo shows that the spinning ball never makes contact with the bare post the entire time until it falls behind the padding. There's continually an air gap the whole time it's abeam the non padded section of the post. The side on shows...

What about people like me who had money on Adelaide?

That’s where it gets ugly. The afl being in bed with betting.

 

[Phar Ted]

 

[Gunit]

Clear goal. If the AFL double down and say it was a behind they need to point at that footage and show us how.

We’ve been waiting 12 months

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Dermie tearing strips off the AFL here.

 

[Roosurgence]

Lol yep your dumbass coaches couldn't count to 75 because the AFL are trying to help the Swans.

But the AFL did wait until the ball was in the Swans F50 to make the call. When vision shows the ball wasn’t there when the infringement occurred.

A bit like the Swans bench that couldn’t count to 18.

Just chalk it up to another AFL assisted win for the Swans.

This is also bizarre and I expect a please explain.

His kick for goal afterwards was not good.

Swans would have taken the ball out of the centre and goaled.

 

[parano1a]

If the goal ump is confident it's a point, who then takes the onus of saying "hey should we review that"

Honestly what might come from this is a captains challenge on score calls

Field umpire can overrule him and call for a review. Not sure why that didn't happen.

 

[ibd77]

Some one needs to go to specsavers. That still alone is pretty conclusive. The ball is clear of the post and nearly 100% across the goal line.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

They should call it a goal and get the players back on monday to play the last minute.
The dropkicks on the arc must have heard the swans players punch the post on snicko

Can the AFL even reverse the decision? I think they'll just say the goal umpire made a mistake and crows should have been awarded a goal, but do nothing about it

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Not with 40 seconds still left the ball would of gone back to the center and then what??

I agree if it was a kick after the siren.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

One could reasonably argue that if the Crows didn't throw away massive game winning leads several times this season (like at home a couple of weeks against GWS) they wouldn't be in this pickle.

And no, the AFL isn't going to cave into fan nuffie pressure and overturn the result.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

If the Adelaide players had of ran at the umpire and remonstrated they might have.
