I look forward to him explaining why the goal umpire vision is the only thing that can be considered definitive...

Clarko's first victim - he's going rogue!

 

[Nifft]

Agree. But the like the the Kennedy assassination, expect to hear all about "the angles"

I'm only going to be happy when the AFL hire Michael Bay to film the footage of the goals at games. Then when we have a review we can have his slo-mo bullet time style review of the ball going past the posts, and as a bonus a few explosions wherever the ball lands.

And then the sun comes up...

Do you think lasers only work in the dark?

Probably went to the same school as Peter ‘what good is solar power to us at night time?’ Dutton

Clarkson sacked the stinkboners CEO, Ben Amarfio. Erased their debt, record membership year on year, had the entire list management team walk out on the club. Would he be worth a look?

Could he make multi millionaire a.dumbdoro walk ?? If yes, sign him up.

There are a only a few solutions with the goal/non goal scenario we saw last night.

1. Get rid of all technology and back the umpires call.

2. Improve the technology in use and stop relying on a camera ripped out of a 1995 Nokia. These cameras would need to have a high enough fps rate so that when the footage is slowed down, the image is not blurry. For last night's scenario, you would still need multiple camera angles.

If I can see a fly taking a dump on an F1 drivers visor at 300 kph in slow motion, surely the AFL can also fund this technology.

3. Have goalposts 100m in height. (I'm not serious with the actual height) The current ones are 15m, make them longer.

In case people are being serious, putting any type of laser, infrared or other type of sensor on top of the post will not work.

I hate the amateurish tech we use, get rid of it and give control back to the umps.

why not? they use that shit for all kinds of things

 

[citizen-erased]

Missed deliberate rushed? Wasn't he in the goal square, with Lions players around him?

He had time and space to kick it. Lions players werent interested in allowing a behind.

If it had been the boundary, it would have been a free

Because you require 2 major components to make it work, an emitter that transmits the signal (laser, infrared, etc) and a receiver. Where would they put the receiver is one problem, distance and alignment are others

A strong Infrared signal may travel around 25 feet, so you would need the receiver around 3 to 4 meters above the top of the post. Other factors can interfere with the signal a well, such as bright lights and heat. May as well increase post height by 5 meters in this case.

Sonar devices, as used on your car rear bumpers, usually have the transmitter and receiver in close proximity to each other, e.g., side by side, as they aren't looking for a broken signal, but rather an increase in the time that a signal is bounced back to the receiver. Trouble is, the signal spreads outwards once transmitted, not ideal for such a scenario where it would detect a ball 2 feet to the side of the post. Also have a short signal distance of around 5 to 6 feet.

The problem I see with lasers, is that to intensify the beam before they are emitted from the device, the signal is usually bounced of internal mirrors. You will need more than one beam, they would need to form a ring around the outer tip of the post.

So room may be a factor, as may heat, possible internal misalignment from players and ball banging into the post. Even with the post being knocked whilst the ball is in motion, it will vibrate the post and therefore it will no longer align with the receiver.

You would have the benefit of the receiver being at a further distance from the top of the post, but the alignment needs to be very precise. The actions above will cause alignment issues.

The only other option is to use a laser that the military have been testing, it will just dsintegrate the ball as it passes through the beam. I would pay extra to see that during the game. Of course, this will also result in seagulls falling from the sky, planes blowing up. Cant win them all i suppose.

Not the way the rule is interpreted, but it should be.

Enjoyed this one

 

[Zach Package]

BT countering Brayshaw’s ‘Spargo’s now played 80 odd games and they really like him at Melbourne’ with ‘but why?’ and then awkward silence is like weird Arrested Development stuff invading AFL commentary.

 

[citizen-erased]

Kozi and maurice rioli are exactly the types of small forwards i want.
Strong, smart and great in the contest

 

[jmoo wan]

that was awful, awful umpiring to reward lance franklin twice there.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

God I hope Sydney go out in straight sets. C’mon Melbourne.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Not sure what’s happened to front on contact in this game.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

Soft umpiring helping the golden child. Disgusting to watch.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Parker has vineys number, viney would have to be one of the most overrated on ballers in the game based on amount commentators rave about him vs his actual output.

 

[TheUnicorn]

This over umpiring is ruining this match ffs

 

[DonsRule]

geez the umpires in this game making it almost unwatchable

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Wtf is with nick riewoldts turtleneck
