Ball is not near the padding and looks clear of the post.

They keep saying it hit the back of the padding and I just can't see it. Hope there is footage backing up the umpire.

Biggest sport in the country with amateur level goal line technology. Looked a clear goal to me.
I’d be filthy if I was a crows fan. Put a chip in the ball ffs, do something, happening far too often.

A few thoughts after today/tonight’s games:

Cats heading for a long stint in the wilderness. Their midfield will be putrid.
Atkins, Bruhn, Bowes and Parfitt aren’t worrying many teams. They are slow and now can’t even win the contested ball. They’ve had a great run but it’s their turn to be at the bottom for a while.

Sucked in Bombers. Again choking when it matters most.

If the Saints can play finals with the number of average players they have, we should be pushing hard for a top
8 spot.

We should (must) obliterate Geelong and Richmond next year.

I know someone involved at the Cats . Wont got into a lot of detail on here but its fair to say a decent chunk of the list including the recruits came back in less than ideal fitness/condition.

Things aren't super rosy behind the scenes either . They are a super professional club so those issues havent come out .

So Essendon could theoretically overtake GWS next week, except that their percentage is so much lower than that of GWS. Funny thing is, their percentage started the round higher than GWS.

 

[Rioli magic]

That looks like a gap between ball and post to me, I don’t think that hit the post.

Massive call.

Waste our time all year reviewing anything that’s borderline then just call it this time with a team’s season on the line.

Bizarre.

 

[VandoHawk]

The fact they didn’t score review that is mind boggling. Perhaps it would have been inconclusive but to not review it at all??

If it was called a goal it would have been reviewed and possibly called back if it became a point

 

[Yardie]

Just showing a review now on Fox Footy. That was a goal!

Bombers smashed, it was riveting to watch like a train wreck in slow motion.
cats teased by saints then put to the sword. Two thing to look forward too tomorrow. Scott brothers press conferences and Santa!
because it has to be Christmas.

One of my good mates is an AFL goal umpire.

He's at a loss for words.

Umpire was in the wrong position.
And then still didn't refer it.

Cost a team their season and gifted Sydney a finals spot.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Mr Magoo goal umpire was decisive with his immediate call of a point so no need to review.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Can someone explain to me why the padding needs to go that high?

 

[OnTheRocks]

There won't be, didn't the umpire signal across his cheast behind but not as hitting the post signal. Also no Arc being released
Nothing to see here ........except for a gap between the ball & post

 

[daniel23]

What an amateur/disgrace our game has become . All year we have wasted countless minutes on score reviews for the most pointless decisions yet the biggest one of the season is cleared like that .

To protect Dane Rampe when he climbs the posts.

Probs last time we see that goal umpire, even if he makes it out of the oval.
Off to afl in siberia

 

[grumbleguts]

Review complete, we can see from this angle that we want more lucrative teams in the finals than Adelaide.

 

[Sixpence]

This almost makes up for letting Rankine run out of bounds before kicking a goal against us.

Only problem is that it saved Sydney's season.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Review showing it a clear goal. What a complete **** up

On the contrary, I suspect the AFL is secretly delighted.

We must grow the game is Sydney, remember?

The AFL couldn't give a flying fig for the Crows.
