Score review system in this sport is the biggest embarrassment of any sport.
Umpire isn't sure, so asks for a score review
With multiple angles and replays, they can't make a call, so they make no call and send it back to the person who literally didn't know, hence why we even had the review
Umpire guessed, because they're not allowed to admit they don't know
The stupidity hurt us against Richmond and now it's hurt Melbourne
All this technology only for the answer to be - we don't know

No, the goal umpire was a few metres away and the umpires call was touched. There was insufficient evidence to disprove this call so it remained with the umpires decision (like it would have been for over 100 years before technology)
The technology is only there to eliminate the howler. That wasn't a howler and neither was the Richmond one. Get over it and move on.
"Get over it and move on"
First of all spare me for even using that tone
Second of all the score review system is clearly broken. It wasn't touched, the umpire guessed and a team was robbed, so clearly it needs to be addressed.
First of all the review system worked as per the rules.
Second of all would you like a tissue?

If that is a torn achilles for Wingard, I wonder if that is career done. He is 30 with a probably 12 month recovery so will miss most of/if not all of next season. He'll be 32 by the time he gets back and I could see a world where Hawthorn might not have a spot in the team for him.

I'm surprised they didn't get rid of him in last year's fire sale. They could've conned Gold Coast into taking him for a 2nd rounder
Hawks won't be easy in the final round. Or next year.

Never bet against Hawks in Launceston.
Agreed but they play Launceston well and we actually play MCG quite well.
For the same reason Gold Coast might find North a challenge in the last round at Hobart. Very foreign conditions for visiting teams.
Hawks are one of the form teams at the moment.
That was the dumbest last 2 minutes of a close game I have seen by BOTH teams.
Still beats what happened in ESS - Freo game when the umpire asked Ty Zantuck if he wanted a behind or a free kick to Matty Carr in our F50 (Zantuck bumped Carr as he had a shot at goal and scored a behind). Zantuck chose behind. I suppose these things can only happen to us and no other team
Lol, dogs lost
Bulldogs are frauds coached by a moron
It's like Beveridge thinks he's smarter than everyone and does so much weird shit as a coach.
Just chops and changes everything.
Other than being umpired to a Premiership 7 years ago they have massively underachieved.

Imagine the grief this board would have given Longmuir if the ruck took the kick-in when Freo were trailing in the last 2 minutes.

And we know clearly now why Hardwick pulled the plug a few weeks ago - he knew Richmond were about to fall off the proverbial cliff. Reminds me of RTB's post-match presser when St Kilda went out in 2011. He pretty much announced to the world that there was nothing left in the club's tank.
But he’s the right coach to get the best out of Rory.

That‘s right Fred.But he’s the right coach to get the best out of Rory.
Under his new expert coach Rory has gone from a career high goal tally of 36 at Fremantle last year to 18 to date at WB.
A very wise decision by Rory.
He's never coached the Dogs to the top 4 after a H&A season. The goodwill from the lucky Premiership and Covid GF appearance has to be running dry.
Shame for him and the hawks, he’s been really good recently - has been good to watch.
Baker as well.
