But surely if one team clearly scores more than the other team you cant rule in favour of the losing side

I just think that the score would dictate the way a game is played, if anything giving the game a draw and then sacking all umpires involved given there is no lower divisions for them to go to would be the answer. It’s not like they had to keep track of a shoot out, it was a low scoring affair

The statement put out by the league Is the biggest joke in all of this. They are shifting nearly all of the blame on the timekeepers. These are people in volunteer roles at local footy clubs. The blame should be solely on the goal umpires. They are required to keep the score and confirm them each quarter, then correct the timekeepers if there is an error.
The whole thing is a farce. Several mistakes were made throughout the game, so it’s not as simple as just saying the end scores are wrong so we’ll just overturn it.
The errors were made In the 3rd quarter. That gives plenty of time for either team to win or lose the game. It would have been played differently if the scores were correct throughout the game, so how can they say it’s a clear cut decision? It should have been awarded a draw or a non result.

The league just posted about it, game is going to be over turned. Seems pretty unfair, if one team thinks they are winning they are going to play differently as a posed to them thinking they are losing and have to score. Don’t think Moorabbin are gonna be to happy with that result. Even though technically it’s the right decision.
Surely the Team Managers would have known the scores and conveyed to coaching staff who can then convey to players. Most teams in SEFNL, MPNFL do it. Surely players would have had some idea when 1 point added to score when goal kicked????? Moorabbin can be upset with the umpires but also themselves!
