How can they possibly tell?

Post: # 1678404Post bigcarl »

And how unlucky was Billings to have two goals disallowed?

I'm not convinced the technology is up to it - the fingers always look blurred whether they touch it or not - and what happened to benefit of the doubt?

If there is any it should go to the team making the play.

Get rid of it for touched off the boot. It's not accurate enough and should be umpire's call.

Unlucky for Billings and the team

They all look touched, whether they touch them or not. There's just not enough frames per second to decide it conclusively.

Apart from all that it slows the game down too much.

Absolutely no replay or explanation was given.

But as a paying customer I deserve an explanation but we got nothing - no replay, no explanation, nothing.
A very poor way to treat paying customers.

So does he AFL review every score at every single game?

I'm not saying they haven't announced it but since when have they being doing this?

Fair enough - strange they didn't show them

Apparently so. I can't remember it coming back to the centre before a decision is made though. It's like the f****** DRS in cricket. You're never sure it's a wicket until they've done the review.

Who would know with the AFL. They're all over the shop and the supporters are usually the last to know.

Fkn disorganised rabble. Treat the supporters like dog s***.

Probably. Doesn't change the fact that the technology is dodgy.

Probably. Doesn't change the fact that the technology is dodgy. At least in cricket they have hot spot and snicko as well as a replay.

In the AFL if a bloke's fingers are blurred it's given touched. And when you slow it down everyone's fingers look blurred.

That's a completely different issue Devilhead and you know it. That went through the points rather than the goals and everyone there apart from the umpires saw it. The replay left no room for doubt.

It hit the post - either way it was clear today on the tv replay that both those overturned Billings gioals were touched - I am first to fly off the handle about crap like that but in this case the correct decisions were made ...... unfortunately

No one's flying off the handle. It just don't think the technology is good enough to potentially decide games. Cheers

Just quietly, Billings is much more accurate with his right boot than his left.

The whole thing is still strange - both came as a surprise to the umpires as well
I thought the review option was an indulgence thrown to umpires ... dodgy tech and all
But for upstairs to undermine the umps twice in a night??

Surely it's got to be touched 'without doubt' for it to be overturned if it was called a goal!? I only got home in time to see the 2nd one and no way it was conclusive..

The first one looked touched. The second was a maybe or possibly, certainly not conclusive. If I had to put money on it, I'd say touched, but yeah not conclusive.
