Whether or not they use Snicko too, they need to learn how to use the cameras properly. That Adelaide goal v. Port almost certainly passed the wrong side of the post and therefore was a point. (It doesn't matter whether it also nicked the post.)

You wonder who exactly they choose as TV umpire, and whether they understand camera-work. (It was also claimed they did not use all of the available camera footage.)


It scares me, because if that were the final act of the GF...

[BazBoy]

Totally agree the cannot nail the current technology without introducing new stuff

Next they’ll want sensors to determine if your foot is past the post at a goal from goal square scrimmage—-shhhhhhh Baz

[Johnno75]

Just go the zing posts.

I got a change !!

Robot umpires with hyper sensitive sight and decision making

I mean what would they be competing agin

[K]

Ideally they'd put straight-on cameras behind goal and behind regions, but the cameras of course are placed for media game coverage, not for umpiring.

[BazBoy]

Give the media something else to have organism over

If in the dying moments of the 2019 GF, with Adelaide trailing Collingwood by under a goal, Jenkins kicks that point and is given a goal, we'll all go insane.

The unprofessionalism of the AFL sometimes makes me go .
And the AFL suits just go .
