I know you’re dying to claim vIc bIaS, but last time i checked the Swans are from Sydney and they get more kissed on the **** by the AFL than anyone from Victoria
So kissed on the dick the worst umpiring display in AFL Grand Final history was against us.
I have checked out for 2023 mate, I'm cooked. Good luck to your boys.

It is about the issue dopey.
Poor umpiring decisions influence games all the time , a free kick that generates an easy shot at goal is no different to a goal umpire making a poor decision.
You say take the teams and emotion out of it then bang on with attempted insults
These are all opinion you haven't proven anything, you then talk about teams and neutrals.
Not about the teams but you mentions teams and neutrals and claim opinions as facts, dearie me
Dude, you literally whinge in every single Adelaide match day thread about the umpires. You are the last person to be pulling the ‘not about Adelaide’ card.
Wouldn’t pay too much attention to him. He’s emotional every time Adelaide loses and blames the umpires in match day threads every single time. There’s lots of reasonable Adelaide fans upset here which is fine but he is the least objective one on the site.It is about the issue dopey.

You are clearly just emotional , have a lie down

If the goal umpire didn't review, field umpire didn't overturn, and there was still reasonable time left, then I don't see how the goal (or result) should be overturned, just acknowledged and dealt with in review.
Sirengate was an anomaly. Watching that live it was outrageous that the Saints got two chances to snatch points for reasons outside the field of play. Otherwise this is just an unfortunate umpiring decision late in a game. Given the Marchbank goal line decision last week, and the unrecalled howler assist ballup in the Eagles-Bombers game the week before that lead to the winner, there is a worrying trend of games coming down to a really dubious moment riding on an individual interpretation. Still, we've had a lot of close finishes lately, glass half full I guess.
The Swans were on the receiving end of a very similar goal padding finish against the Bombers in 2007, involving an Amon Buchanan behind (called correct):

will be interested in the please explain. Umpiring decisions that go either way are stock standard. The problem here is that the ball unequivocally cleared the goals and the umpire still, somehow, was adamant and without doubt that it hit the post.
An absolutely crazy theory a few mates thought up after watching the game that I wouldn't put past the AFL.
The ARC 'snicko' is a fabrication.
It's easy enough to create a sound file then 'marry' it to vision.
Why does it take so long for the screen with different camera angles and snicko in the bottom right to be produced?
Should be straight forward.
Noticed how many ARC snicko sound waves have a flatline despite the obvious noise of the crowd and the posts themselves?
Hasn't the AFL stated that on one occasion that snicko was ineffective due to crowd noise?
I said BS but dang it's got me thinking!

Watch all the goal umpires second guess themselves today and call for BS reviews.

^ How did it take until the 8th post for someone to slip that in
I feel bad for Crows supporters because they were clearly robbed here. Having said that, when I was a kid learning about the game my old man pointed out that the umps are always going to have a couple of howlers per game that shift things a couple of goals in either direction, you need to be able to win despite that and not have it come down to 1 kick / decision in the first place. Still unfair, but that's footy.

I'm just happy at the end of the day we reached a fair and just resolution
Very true, Adelaide needs to be 3-4 goals better in 2024, not 3-4 points.^ How did it take until the 8th post for someone to slip that in

Are you taking the piss?
The point he was making (although a little sarcastically) was that if the Adelaide goal is reviewed and the result of the match changed any team could then argue that 1 incorrect umpiring decision cost them the game. We'd be replaying and altering scores in so many matches. I can think of at least 3 Adelaide goals that wouldn't have happened but for an incorrect umpiring decision, do Sydney then appeal them? I can also think of at least 2 goals that Sydney scored that wouldn't have happened but for incorrect umpiring decisions, so do we go back and review them? That's not to mention the behinds that are scored. What about decisions that change the momentum in games, do we review them.
I understand that you're frustrated because a decision that was (at best for the AFL) probably wrong went against your side late in the match, however if you want something to blame look at the basic skill errors from Adelaide players in the last quarter alone. How many senior players missed relatively simple shots, how many dropped marks from Adelaide defenders. Two things I've learnt in my years watching AFL is that teams that need other results to go there way to make finals generally aren't good enough to be there as it means they've dropped games along the way they probably shouldn't have. Also, the thing that separates those that just make the 8 and those that just miss out is how well teams take their chances and on too many occasions this year to make finals Adelaide players have choked when it comes to taking an opportunity.
That's not to mention the most simple reason why the result won't be changed is that there was still time left for a Sydney goal the other way, unlike the other 2 matches (I know of) where a result was changed after the match where a score was kicked after the siren so shouldn't count. I know Sydney kicking a goal was unlikely but just 2 weeks ago we saw Essendon with momentum against them turn it around with Zac Merrett setting up a Langford goal. I realise that Adelaide are a more difficult side to score against than West Coast but stranger things have happened. I remember an Adelaide vs Melbourne game at West Lakes where 2 goals were scored in the last minute to change a result. 1 of those goals was scored while multiple players from the other team (I can't remember which way it went) were celebrating the previous goal. Not saying that would've happened here (the AFLs 6-6-6 rule wouldn't allow it) just that weird things happen in sport

1) I'm pulling the card
2) Umpires suck EVERY week, it isn't MY fault
3) I'm in most gameday threads analysing the umpiring decisions because there are so many bad ones.
4) I'm a total hypocrite but
5) I can admit it.
Stay safe.

Didn't insult you once. I did question your ability to take ownership but that left open the door to actually proving me wrong which you didn't.
I can admit I spout a lot of crap, others just spout the crap.
I'd respond to the rest of your words but they would need to be reformed into someone resembling a coherent sentence first. I'm happy to have the chat I just cannot understand your point.
watching that game, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more lopsided umpiring display in all my life. And it was in the grand final. Unbelievable stuff. Felt so sorry for you guys.

Swans players were smart getting the ball back in quickly to prevent a review. I reckon if they’d waited another few seconds the umpire would have held it up.
