Unfathomable

I'm a bit out of the loop today. Has the AFL come up with a bullshit explanation of this stuff up yet?

Not yet.

'We're extremely sorry that a mistake was made last night with the goal review system. We will be making every endevour to make sure that mistakes like that are eradicated completely. We feel the system in place is trustworthy, and whilst errors have been made, they have been very infrequent and had no bearing on the result of any game'

Wouldn't have thought being a video review umpire would be that taxing...he had to make one decision and managed to botch it.

Sir John Kerr board.

After watching the replay, 1, the goal umpire said it was a goal, 2, just before the announcement, i could swear i heard a voice in the background say it was the umpires call, and 3, the clown making the announcement ( a different voice ) said it hit the post, it is a behind

I have no problem with the review system. It is there to catch howlers. But instead, they seem to be making howlers.

If the umpires says its a goal, and there is no clear evidence it isn't, the goal stands. It's not f'ing hard.

THE AFL has conceded it was a mistake to overturn Jack Ziebell's goal during Sunday's North Melbourne-Melbourne clash.

AFL said it was a stuff up. I feel better now. Have they stood down the moron responsible?

Do they give us those extra 5 pts?

Admitting it is an error means nothing.

 

[Harris 10]

I would love for a punter to take legal action over one of these stuff ups one day.

If they start standing down ''morons'' there'll be nobody left in the umpiring department.

Hot spot?

Yep hot spot and snicko for sure. Doesn't help when the camera quality is reminiscent of a Balinese camera job. Get a bloody go pro on there for christ sake!

Brad Scott's reaction in the coaches box would make for a good gif.

Duckers fans probably have that in hand already.

 

[Mr Reliable]

The other thing is that Jack didn't kick the ball completely pure. If he'd got onto it probably this may never happened.

The MRP has reprimanded NM's JZ for recklessly destabilising the goal review system.

Snicko?

It's a worry as he already has carryover from points for;

a) pursuing the ball against Carlton
b) trying to smother the ball against Adelaide

Completely missing the point about percentage. We are 2.4% behind Collingwood in the eight. Melbourne got the ball out of defence after that error, so the mistake had a flow on effect. For teams very close on percentage, every point counts.

OK, it really sounded like crap from the AFL. You should get a job in their media dept.
