Petition - Remove the score review system

[Dazzler9]

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

I don't know if the St Kilda GF side of 2009 would agree with you there.

Like cricket, the review system was brought in to eradicate the "howlers". But you end up getting a lot of 50-50 decisions getting reviewed. I can live with that if it means the howlers (see Hawkins poster in 09 GF) are corrected.

 

[Dazzler9]

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.

This has some merit I think.

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

Award the goal like they did here

Wellingham hit the post and was gifted a goal in the 2011 GF as well - miraculously Geelong still won!

I'd be fine with howlers, but it's used way too often.

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

Haven't you seen the movies. They can rotate, zoom in and depixelate.

It's funny how no one remembers the Wellingham goal that hit the post in the 3rd quarter of the 2011 GF

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:

Go forward a frame or two, the ball is still on his boot when it is fully over the line

Probably because the premiership wasn't decided by it.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

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.

The goal was awarded to Heeney? Either way it needs to be conclusive and there is no reason to believe he made context with the ball before it cleared the line. The footage needs to show that. Again and again they're changing umpires decisions without any clear need to do so.

Sure, but Heeney kicked that goal.

Neither was 09 Margin was 12points

Got no problem with the system except that they stuff it up like they do with cricket. A review system should be used to give the right decision in the third umpires opinion. Goal umpire calls he thinks it’s a goal but is not 100% sure then almost every time the review agrees with the goal umpire, yet if the goal umpire had of said he thinks it’s a point but not 100% sure the review would also agree with him most times.
The review should only ever be used if the goal umpire does not know, then the review system is there to make a decision without having to lean one way or the other to make the goal umpire and the AFL feel good.

 

[Truetiger]

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

Bloody umpires bs oops sorry my bad lol

Who knows how the game would've unfolded. I was supporting Geelong that day so happy to turn a blind eye to the injustice of it. It's that sort of error that is the perfect example of why some sort of review system is warranted however.

 

[Furn2]

People expect these things to be perfect and because its not they Wana an get rid of it but it's still a human making the decision so it never will be.

DRS in cricket has reduced errors from 1 in 10 to 1 in 40 which is 400% better and people still want to to go back because it's not 100%.

 

[Truckosaurus]

It might work better if the AFL just paid for HD instead of trying to make 7 do it. Could probably pay for it out of Gil's bonus with change for dessert.

 

[Boxhead_31]

What happened to the goal umpire camera's they wore on their hats?

 

[Truetiger]

AFL simple spend money on it and upgrade it to a high level. Otherwise piss it off.

 

[Blackas87]

I like having a review system, but it needs to be a challenge system. A team should have 2 wrong challengers per half.

 

[HawkMongrel]

Idiot.

Just fix it ffs, it’s a good system.

 

[kosifantutti]

Until the field umpires are getting every decision right, why bother with this clunky, slow and inconsistent system?

 

[PerthBoy86]

Nah I think it's good. Anything to make it more objective. People complain enough about umpire decisions. Maybe they could use technology to help: like say a laser in the post or something lol. But it's like hawkeye in tennis, it will prevent McEnroe style meltdowns and dummy spits, which I guess is one downside, haha, but I like it.

That doesnt show anything. How do we know boot is on ball.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

unless they are going to stump up the cash to do it properly then get rid of it

 

[blitzer]

I like the score review system. If its unclear then it defaults to umpires decision anyway so basically the only complaint is it slows the game down. Pretty insignificant next to getting the decision right more of the time I would have thought.

Could it be better? Yes, but its useful even in its current form.
