Opinion Smart Footies

Have the AFL started investment into sensors and such to make their game day footballs smarter?

Imagine a sensor that could detect hitting a post.. touching or not touching a foot or finger in score reviews..

I'm sure this could be easily implemented without comprising the actual football..

They could even track the entirety of the footballs movement in a 3D space and show a lot better analysis for us, the viewers.

So.. have they started looking into it, or not?

What if the game gets held up by Nigerians ransoming the ball?

If the Eagles were still wealthy they might hack it/pilot it through / make it bounce higher for NicNat.
Shame the 'rivers of gold' days are gone.
