Richmond fans going mental about free kicks.

lol

 

[PykeDream]

Freo looked better when Sandi was on the bench. Liability around the ground and utterly predictable in the ruck.

Saints rea chance today IMO

Melbourne’s 3rd game in 10 days

I was just thinking about the goal review system. Clearly that goal by North should have been overturned. But, in general these reviews really affect the flow of the game and massively disadvantages the team kicking in when a goal review is called for.

For those types of touched off the boot calls, I reckon a cricket type system should be put into place. Each team gets 1 or 2 reviews a game that they can call. The field umpires should not be able to ask for a review for touched off the boot. If a player knows he touched it, he can call for a review. If he is proved correct, or even if its an umpires call, the team keeps their review. If its called a goal, the team loses their review.

Goal umpires can continue to call for reviews as per the current system.

Agree

Jeez Richmond supporters are a bunch of insufferable entitled flogs. Their team played like ass in that quarter, giving away a bunch of obvious frees, and they carry on like that?

 

[baldandbroke]

If they aren't willing to introduce more technology akin to what is seen in cricket, they should scrap it entirely.

I still think it's as simple as two goal umpires, one in each post. No replays, pay it as your see it.

The advantage being it can be replicated at lower levels, and players will get used to it.

I actually think Freo have been the better team today, they just don't have the polish yet to capitalise. Richmond aren't playing that well, they just have a seriously cushy draw to start the season and the teams they're playing aren't good enough to punish their mistakes.

Jake Levers new nickname would become Shane Watson

 

[Scorpus]

Lever did a great job of covering no one in the pocket there while McCartin takes an easy mark on the lead nearby

 

[Scorpus]

Lever completely misses a defensive spoil and St Kilda pounce to get the first goal.

Going great so far

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Lever the best fist in the business!

 

[pjcrows]

No faith in St Kilda whatsoever. They typically drag their opponent down to their level for as long as possible then fold like a deck of cards.

With the goal review, I don't know how far we are off having tennis like tracking of the ball as its a bigger field, odd shaped ball, and it seems like it's the touched thing is the major issue, and who knows how hard that would be to track.

Until we are there I would do the following...

Keep the goal review, put emphasis on the word "conclusive", meaning the evidence must actually be clear footage of a hand/finger on the ball, not the ball was here, then it was here, and in between we have a handful of blurry frames and a bent finger.

Spend the money to get super slow motion cameras in an arc from point post to point post, we should be able to get that right in 2018.

If something happens outside of that area review it, but if you cant show us a frame with the ball touching a hand it's inconclusive.

That doesn’t solve the issue of touched balls potentially 50m from the goal umpire.

If the field umpires miss it it cant be the goal umpires fault.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

St Kilda players falling over like they are on skates

Still doesn’t get the call right though.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

FFS Saints

Finish your work

 

[GreyCrow]

Is it a howler? Is the next step automated umpires that get every decision right?

 

[Hugh Jass]

Really want a Melbourne loss, but I'm afraid Saints are just garbage.

 

[Tyls83]

St Kilda yuck

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

StKilda are putrid

 

[Scorpus]

Can't believe the Saints were able to win a game

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Saints are garbage
