OOB? yes or no?

2 angles of the same moment

Wayne Harmes says no. But it was clearly out when watched live, and still clearly out when watching the replay.

It looks like you could make a case for it being out of bounds.
But did the umpire see it go out of bounds?
Can't call what you can't see.

Here is a wider shot. Boundry ump was right there. Had a perfect view.

If the ump was right there, then more likely the ball was in bounds.

Yeah, the umpire was in the perfect position, better than the camera angles we have. Clearly made the decision the whole ball was not over the line.

Was directly behind the umpire in the stands, ball was out. Nfi why he didn’t call it. Admiring the play perhaps? It was a damm good effort to be fair.

Watching live, as soon as he changed it to his left arm, you'd think it was going out. Other angle shows the boundary umpire right there. Go to go with the umpire on this one.

There was another game where the ball clearly bounced out of bounds and they called play on when a player picked it and took off.

I strongly believe umpires occasionally get "stunned mullet" syndrome and by the time they shake out of it play has continued and it is too late to blow the whistle.
Just like in this incident.

 

[BF Tiger]

Just have OOB like they do in basketball.

Definitely out almost as much as Edie Betts when he won goal of the year

Yes, umps dont make mistakes when they are within 15m of the ball.
