Tired of football administrators copying other sports, Australian football is uniquely Australian in my opinion a national game should reflect who we are as a nation, administrators lack of imagination, leadership and entrepreneurship
players in the history of our game elevated because they played in a grand final TEAM! Best players are that so step up Robbie Flower , Kevin Murray etc
thats all for the moment…….. |

Score reviews. Cloke was robbed of a goal because some ****head thought the video might show it was touched. The video (using Seven's pathetic fuzzy images) showed nothing. So of course the umpires rule no goal.

Rubbish. The sooner Seven loses the TV rights and all footy is broadcast in HD the better. The review system MUST show categorically the ball was touched. It didn't, so should have been umpires call. A goal. But anyway it robs the game of an exciting acute angle goal. And wasted more precious minutes.
I prefer to watch Ice Hockey at the moment. The AFL needs a shake up. The Club Presidents (if they had any balls) would declare a breakaway competition and leave Dimmy and his cronies out in the cold. _________________ Rain or hail, I wag my tail |

It was touched, but is video review supposed to be used for incidents down field or just on the goal line? What next, video reviews of marks taken in the forward 50 just in case their is an infringement?? _________________ How would Siri know when to answer "Hey Siri" unless it is listening in to everything you say? |

I'll never complain about a correct decision.
The technology is there and you could clearly seeing who-ever it was's fingers bend back as the ball passed.
Down-field?
If that technology was there in 1979 the ball would have been called out and we'd have another flag. |

What intrigued me with that footage is it didn't seem to be a camera usually used to adjudicate such decisions. _________________ No Pressure, No Diamonds

one of the more curious threads we've seen.
today as an outing was very good. none of the shite we are normally subjected with. i noticed the mcg had done away with its fake crowd sound that accompanies the siren at the start of each quarter. i hope this is a permanent move. _________________ Purveyor of sanctimonious twaddle. |

Definitely touched but that is one of the very few instances I can recall where it showed categorically so. _________________ carn the mighty pies! |
