If these 50s (including last 2 weeks) are the rules, then the rules need to be changed.

Yeah he did.
I had to go back and check, it happened against West Coast in Perth back in 2016.
One of the worst goal reviews of all time and to this day I still maintain that they got it wrong.
It doesn’t make any sense. If it touched the boot before the line, it’s a goal.
What if a player kicks the ball, and another play goes to soccer and ‘carries’ the ball over. Is it touched because it was carried? Does the goal go to the previous kicker even though the second player made contact with ball?
Makes no sense.

They did get it wrong. It was a goal then and is a goal now.
The blatant error with the Walker decision back then is one of the reasons the video reviewer is always a trained goal umpire now.
The ball is "kicked" the moment it touches a boot. There's no requirement in the laws for it to leave the boot.

Are they umpiring it as if it has to?

no.
If I remember the Walker incident in 2016 you could here the field umpire say something like "but that's a goal...?" in reaction to the video reviewer's description.
Once again it seems like Geelong don’t play with the same salary cap as the rest of us.
Are they going to tell us Patty is on $50k a year now?
Geelong are only a year away or two max from losing a 3rd of their list. Hawkins, Dangerfield, Smith, Touhy, Stanley, Ceglar, Blicavs, Rohan, Duncan, Menegola, Guthrie, Stewart, Cameron all into their 30s. Would be easy to target fresh talent with large back-ended contracts.

One of the commentators suggested that Fremantle trade Darcy and make Jackson their 1st Ruck
One of the Vic commentators? The same sort that said we should trade Dangerfield for peanuts because its good for the game?
They really are the most hypocritical sycophants.

Watching last night buddy is beyond cooked. It's sad watching him play now
Massie would actually be a good match up in 2023, Craig was years ahead of his time

Ryan Burton dropped
Has he been out of form? I've stopped watching Port games since they started winning

Fair effort to play out that nine year contract though. Most of us thought he would have retired before the end of it, like our old friend Tippo.

How much is the government paying the AFL to suck up to the CCP again?
