camera on umpire...

[trumby]

that fool was standing sideways when he was doin the toss and my god he looked 2 metres wide!

 

[eddie_punchclock]

reminded me of robocop

 

[Bombers_Forever]

They just showed the umpire bouncing the ball - how fascinating!

Another stupid Ch 10 innovation

 

[Belnakor]

yeah that camera angle was certainly worth the cost of getting it to work... not.

 

[eddie_punchclock]

makes you wonder if they bothered to test it out before tonight.

rubbish

 

[Chappas]

joke, they'd be better off having a camera suspended from a balloon and let it float around the ground.

hahahahahahahah

Don't be so cruel..........you haven't heard all the options available to the umpires yet.!!!!

The best is yet to come.............umps on quadbikes.........wayyyyyy tooo gooooo!!!!!!

 

[Dandy_GO]

This is even worse than Skycam!

 

[Thiele66]

I would rather have the cable car. I got dizzy watching that on our new HDTV.

 

[The Dustbin]

The field and goal umpire cam are working a treat.
The goal umpire filling out the score card is fascinating viewing.

 

[numchuks]

Loving the shoulder shots of the umpire's chin and nose hair.

Awesome.

 

[Belnakor]

Yeah the umpire's skin is looking a bit clammy too. Top notch TV.

I think I was suffering from motion sickness while watching the umpire bounce the ball. Those camera's were completely uneccessary, just made the umps look like..... weirdos....
Along with the goal umpires, why the hell were they wearing them??? it made no difference.....

Having said that, I didn't mind the camera's that (I think) were on the goal posts. It wasn't a bad angle to look at from. And, I think there should be extra points given for a player who breaks one!

Goal umpires look like they could get a run on the biggest loser atm.

I totally agree, it drove me dizzy on our HDTV. If they can do that, they can bring the cable car back.

I don't mind them either. It will be handy in poster type situations.

Not one of the so-called innovations were worth a damn.

 

[Brenton Davy]

The ABC has been using goal umpire cam for years in the SANFL with pencil cams attached to the goal umpires caps. Far better technology than the crap they tried tonight. It has worked really well for years.

 

[Shane_Mag]

The cams on the umpires werent that great. Loved the cameras on the goal posts and interchange though.

 

[Puddy]

the cameras on the Umpires were okay, nothing special.
the cameras on the goal posts were good, much like the ones ABC uses in their SANFL games.

That's the other one I forgot. I also liked the interchange ones!


What about the camera's on the runners!?!?! that was useless...
We really needed to know that the DT runner couldn't find Davis, didn't we?!?!?!

 

[CF]

the camera stuff was total bollocks IMO. Why the hell do goal umpires need cameras on their shoulders anyway?

So we can see them write stuff on their score cards.....

In a way it kinda felt like Big Brother......

 

[Bomber32]

Having the camera on the umpires was pointless. Didn't mind having them on the goals and the interchange, though.

 

[Thrawn]

They should call it "cheek cam".

Complete waste of time and money.
