No goal line camera

Post: # 1470977Post saintspremiers »

How redacted is the AFL. Amateur hour again.

Maybe it was a legit goal but FFS use technology.

OMG. What is the point of a goal review for a touched on the line when there are no cameras ON THE f****** LINE!!!!!


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Was just going to post the same thing! Can anyone tell me why the goal umpires wear the camera on their hat in only some games and not every game? It's not good enough!

Forget the camera. How can the moron standing on the line not see it was touched on the line.

he thought it was a goal but bozo umpire thought it may be touched before the line. how could bozo tell?

goal ump should tell bozo he was 100% sure and but out.

Well you look at channel 9 and the cricket, they've put a camera everywhere except in the ball and I don't imagine CA told them that it was required. Channel 7 needs to take some initiative including HD.

Same as the draw and the draft - it needs to be equal for all.

If Geelong/AFL can't supply a venue with the same cameras on the goal line as the G or Jihad then we shouldn't play there.


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Well thats plainly silly. Just fix it and forget about not playing there. Nothing to do with Geelong by the way.
