The goal that wasn't
If there was any doubt about the score review system not working this was it. I was sittin directly side on to those goals and the mark was taken about a foot over the line. Every person around me including the Kiwis who knew stuff all about the game couldn't believe that it wasn't given a goal. If a decision this clear cant be judged correctly then the system doesn't work

Re: The goal that wasn't
Why wasn't there a side on camera angle? Front on shot told us little, except that his feet were well behind the line.

Re: The goal that wasn't
You're right. Richards was behind the goal line when he took the mark. Why aren't there cameras positioned side on

Re: The goal that wasn't
from the replays on fox it looked like a goal for sure
so if the goal ump says i think its a mark but not sure and they review it and its CLEARLY marked over the line,.... they wont reverse it?!
i guess you go with the umpire....great idea, do a review as you arent sure, find its wrong... but dont change the decision
money well spent

Re: The goal that wasn't
Sydney player took a kick in at one point and took three steps over the line before kicking it yet they can spot Kosi being too close to a yellow line.

Re: The goal that wasn't
i was watching it on tv in Melbourne and could see easily that it was a metre over the line. But hey, s***, we're only struggling St Kilda, back holding up the bottom rungs of the ladder where the AFL likes us ... of course it goes in favour of Sydney

SEN said they were in disbelief and looked at the commentary team next to them and they were the same.

Re: The goal that wasn't
Just ditch the reviews already. We have maybe 10 or 20 contentious goals each year out of hundreds. It's not worth slowing the game down for inconclusive results. Either put the cameras on the posts, or don't do it at all.
Yeah nah pleasing positive

Re: The goal that wasn't
Definitely marked it............
A metre over the line......
I was in disbelief, as were the other dozen watching in the pub?!
Bizarre again

Re: The goal that wasn't
Imagine if they had to make a call like this to decide a GF. Heaven help the AFL in that situation.
So who were the tits making the decision on the video review? Larry, Moe and Curly?

Re: The goal that wasn't
It seems to me that we are the only ones that are always on the receiving end of these things. If there is any way of screwing us the umpires (including the TV umpire) will screw us 10 times out of 10.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

stop arguing with numpty number two and bring him over here and add this thread to your tally
im guessing there was no goal line camera in these posts over in wellington?
otherwise there would have been an angle shown

Re: The goal that wasn't
The umpire was over the line by miles when he made the call - got pushed by Roo from memory. They kicked a few from frees and we got nothing - could've made the difference.

Re: The goal that wasn't
I thought his first touch was before the line which would make it a mark, but I was trying to eat a parma at the same time so probably didn't have the best view.

Re: The goal that wasn't
The goal ump was obscured by Rooey...and then the review is done by a camera not side on. Which is of course useless. No way the guy could see that on a replay. Sadly another bit of s%&t luck for us. Not sure how the goal umpire could say it was a goal when he clearly had been blocked by Roo.
Does the benefit of the doubt go to the defending team? In Rugby it goes to the attacking team.

He has to complete the mark inside the field of play. That just didn't happen. It was either a point or a goal.bergholt wrote:I thought his first touch was before the line which would make it a mark, but I was trying to eat a parma at the same time so probably didn't have the best view.
I thought the goal umpire said it was a point which would make the overruling a bizarre decision.

I beleive the umpire thought he touched or marked it on the goal line and then fumbled so he thought it was a point. the replay showed no fumble and couldnt be certain it was over the line so the mark stands.
Re: The goal that wasn't
If it was any further over the line it would have been marked in Australia.
