StKilda are now shooting themselves in the foot.
Just stepped inside and saw 10 seconds of the tarpie game when Hogan has a shot at goal. Goal ump takes a tumble after being bumped by a tarpie player so the ball is unsighted as it passes through for a goal. She is totally clueless, but instead of admitting she didn't see the ball go through, she makes a call of "touched". Fair enough, it was reviewed and corrected to be a goal, but it can't be acceptable for a goal ump to simply guess or pluck a decision out of her arse. Just say "unsighted" and request a video review.
You are right that they have to make an "umpires call" as you say, but in that case, she is still wrong to have concocted a call based on something she didn't see. The only call she could make in this case was "goal" as she saw nothing to contradict that although even that would be a made up call.I do feel for her because they are forced to make an 'umpires call' before the review, in case there is no vision or if it is inconclusive. I could see both she and the field ump weren't happy they had to do it since it was obvious she hadn't seen anything after Ryder knocked her over
