Petition - Remove the score review system

[eaglesfan84]

Petitioning the AFL to get rid of the score review system all together, there's no need for it especially in light of the ridiculous decisions being made this season. The game flows better, teams maintain their momentum, crowds stay involved and we should just back the umpires in to call it right.

At least Perthboy did not make this thread

And when you have replays showing a decision is clearly wrong, what are you going to do then?

EFA

I'm in two minds. The camera proof thing will generate melts. There is real world impact when teams get oodles of time to set up for the kick in though.

 

[Underarm]

Only if everyone agrees to never complain about umpires ever again.

if this is in response to the Swans goal against Geelong then i have bad news for you mate - the umpire review got it right:

2D v 3D, can you definitely prove his boot has made contact with the ball prior to it finally crossing the line ?

And would anyone make a big fuss if this was called a behind in real time by the umpires?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Two reviews per game per side
Back the goal umpires to make the correct call (without an umpire overruling from 200m away)

i took that screengrab on Foxtel. The umpires with slow-mo and exact frame by frame obviously saw enough proof to make it a goal. Stop whinging.

Just trying to improve the game, not whinging, if you enjoy sitting waiting for a score review to be made on something that could go either way that's fine. I'm trying to gauge how many fans don't want it.

Just stop it.

Review system gets way more right than wrong.

It only gets involved when there is a stoppage. Its not like in the A-League where it can stop play.

Why wouldnt you want the right result? We see with field umpires how costly human error can be.

Decisions arent meant to be ones that could go either way. Its meant to be the only decision. The right one.

It seriously doesnt take that long.

 

[Flyin Brian Taylor]

My only issue is that the system seems kinda half assed. Half the time the replay doesnt even give that good of a look at the decision.

 

[JayJ20]

Score review needs to be improved with better technology, but the concept is great.

Yeah- Swans supporters...

 

[Craze]

OP, have another look at the 2009 GF and then get back to us.

Reviewer has extra angles that arent shown on TV

free kicks and marks resulting in a goal aren't reviewed, so I see no reason why goals should be

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Get rid - game was fine for 100+ years without it.

It's boring, delays the game unnecessarily, let the goal umpire do his job.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

I like it

Sometimes it is used when not needed and other times it isn't used when needed

Cameron's goal against us a couple weeks ago was ridiculous. I know the review system is there to check if it was touched or hit the post but surely out of bounds is a possibility to be checked for too - especially when it was that obvious

 

[Skeptic]

i prefer the days when people acted as grown ups and simply accepted the umpires decision, right or wrong

Agreed - just get on with it, all evens out in the end.

 

[Walshawk]

Only for blantantly wrong decisions.
Don’t take 2 minute to see if someone’s fingers went back 1mm touched off the boot. That is still concomclusinve.
I like that each team has two challenges. It the first one is right they are another two. Max of one per quarter.
