Laura has come to the rescue to explain to everyone exactly what happened on Sunday with a clear, concise and succinct statement:
"It was a confusing situation and I understand why people are confused and left wanting to understand what happened," Kane told Footy Feed Extra.
"You can see on the vision, Bailey Scott takes the mark, the umpire blows his whistle and one of two calls could be made. It could be play on immediately, or it could be stand, which would indicate the mark had been paid.”
Yes, but… oh sorry do go on
"Neither of these two calls were made in the immediate moment after the free kick has been blown, and Bailey takes four steps or so inbound and looks to play on. So the correct call should have been play on initially.”
Great, thanks for clearing that up… Oh wait, there’s more
"That has caused confusion for the players in the immediate vicinity, the Collingwood players, that there was a delay whistle-to-message and that communication was the error, I guess you could call it.”
OK so… whoops hang on she’s still going
"The important part for the umpire then is to make sure he or she has control of the situation and the decision to regain control from a series of confusing incidents was to pay the mark and bring the ball back.
Right well th.. nope still more
"The initial call, the initial mistake, was that play on wasn't called. It should have been called play on."
Clear as mud an… oh you want to talk about ARC now too?
"We need certainty in the ARC and our score reviewers need to see and be certain that the vision shows very clearly that the ball was touched, and we didn't have that certainty," Kane said.
"It's a line ball call in the moment. Our score reviewers have to make a decision with what they have available to them, which is the vision and the images that they had. In an absence of being completely certain, they went with the umpire's call.”
Sure fai… oh excuse me
"We're happy with the process. I understand how you could get to either outcome, but their job is to make a decision and they've made one to back in the umpire because they didn't have definitive vision or a definitive image to make that call."
Awesome that’s super clear now Laura. Great job
TLDR: Suck shit you lost. And don’t come asking for more priority draft picks either
P.S. Maynard has nothing to answer for.
P.P.S. Dawson can have a week off though
