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

[Aristotle Pickett]

What about people like me who had money on Adelaide?

 

[purplearmy]

Everybody knows.

26 year karma for the Libba goal card a behind.

AFL should change the result here. This is not fair.

I thought it was a goal, however the AFL wont change the outcome of the game. Mistakes have been made in the past, where the AFL admits this, and the results of the match stand. While it's an easy way out for the AFL it doesnt make it any easier to accept

 

[Cringle]

I think the blame lies solely on the goal umpire.

Not much anyone can do once he’s signalled a behind with so much conviction.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Goal umpire was in a better position than any camera angle I’ve seen. But BigFooty.

 

[ashep]

It was a clear goal but the Crows were otherwise KOTD by the umps in the last so I couldn't give a crap.

Biggest umpiring mistake in the history of the game

 

[Rob]

There really has been some weapons grade *******tery in the umpiring ranks of late hasn't there?

Keays goal
Petracca goal
Cameron non goal

Adelaide would have won. Sydney attacked immediately after this and couldn't score. Sydney were gifted their spot in finals.

If a goals awarded the ball goes back to the centre of the ground. Not to mention it completely changes the mindset and intent of every player on the ground.

You simply can't reverse a result when there was over a full minute to play in the game. Sucks for Adelaide but that's the way it goes sometimes.

 

[TheKanga]

How was that not reviewed ?
Insane
The quality of officiating has dropped this year.

 

[big78sam]

Didn’t Adelaide win a flag from a goal that was called a behind?

This happened just before that incident. No free kick to jarman straight in front of goal. Doggies fans with short memories.

Idk Hawkins smashing it into the post in ‘09 could have cost the Saints a second premiership.

Adelaide had all the momentum. Sydney wouldn't have scored.

I can't believe it didn't go upstairs

Laughable. The ball has daylight between it and the goal post as it crosses the line 4 metres above ground level

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

They didn’t show the ARC because it would have demonstrated it was a goal.
The only thing that hit the post was the Swans player.
Thats as poor of a decision as I’ve seen.
Has cost the Crows a win.

Got to say that Cameron receiving the handball in the fourth row the other week looked worse.........

The AFL will come out and back the goal umpire as being in the best position, there was "insufficient evidence" to overturn based on their Logitech webcam 240p footage, and the snicko wasn't working because it'd be too embarrassing if it was.

Also there was no reason to review it, because they reserve stopping the game for important moments like when GWS are winning by 120 points.

Case closed!

But that doesn't work with this one.

They've been done in by the Fox Footy front on UHD camera, which shows great slow mo of the spinning ball front-on, and an air gap the entire time it's abeam that section of the post.

To deny will be the worst option

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Lol you are a dead set clown.
There are more than enough replays to show a clear gap as the ball crosses the line. The umpire was wrong.

Every angle they showed on the broadcast the post was obscuring the view.

 

[Roosurgence]

Umpires decision is final. As it always has been.

Doesn’t mean the umpire isn’t a useless gimp though.

Stevie Wonder would have at least called for the review.

 

[iambrilliant]

Surprise surprise. Sydney getting kissed on the pecker by the afl

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

That's why!

Everything was up for grabs with the result of this game. To have it decided by a blatantly incorrect decision doesn't feel right.

Simply saying 'ah well, the umpire made a mistake' isn't good enough.

The ball deviated. Use your eyes.

100% a goal. If the AFL does nothing about this then I dunno...we may as well be living in Venezuela.

This is the problem.

It would be interesting if Adelaide took this to court.

People will scoff at this post, but think about it for a second - a court needs to judge on reasonableness.

Is it reasonable Adelaide would have won if the correct decision were made?
