I wonder if it’s a tactic of players to whack the post as the ball goes past to deceive the goal umpire and/or snicko?
Would be pretty devious if so.

Yes, they scroll the multiple angles at the same time to determine where the ball is. As conclusive as it gets that the ball wasn't near the postNeither of those shots by themselves are conclusive. Do they review with two separate angles simultaneously trusting that they are perfectly in sync?
I think it was a goal and the umpire got confused because the Swans player hit the padding and it would have moved as the ball went past it. But I'm not convinced it would have been overturned.

That’s easy for us to say. Adelaide fans might have a different perspective.Nah. Just accept the errors. The problem with review systems is that we expect them to get it right 100% of the time and they don't. But we then become furious.

If I were that umpire, I’d stay away from Adelaide for the rest of my life.
Said this at the Geelong match after the (second) Jezza OOB incident. Feels like a WWE-tier entertainment comp at the best of timesDisgraceful from the AFL. I'm actually embarrassed to be so emotionally invested in this sport when that kind of stuff happens. God help us if the AFL ticks it off tomorrow.

If it's blatantly wrong like last night's, I'm sure the momentary outrage from the opponents would be worth it (before they quickly realise they got a freebie).How would that work?
Given that the goal umpire didn’t call for a review, it meant that it was a kickout with a minute left on the clock.
Does the ARC call the field umpire in the middle of play (or even after the final siren) and say “Hey, stop the game” (or even “restart the game”), “we’ve reviewed that previous Adelaide point and found it was a goal.” Take the ball to the center and we’ll contact the timekeeper to set the game clock back to XX:YY”?
Oh no.... worst angle yet
Adelaide is going to go nuts. The Advertiser ran with the umpiring on the back page for about 4 days after the umpire missed Elliott getting Dawson high in that game earlier in the year.OMG!!!!!
Oh no.... worst angle yet
On a different note, apparently Jack Ziebell was coward punched last night. What the hell is wrong with people?
Or just get rid of this dumb "quirk" of our game and make it like every other sport where it doesn't matter if the ball hits the post as long as it crosses the goal line. If it hits the post and stays in, play on. The amount of bullshit and unfairness that could be spared just by this simple fix far outweighs the cries from traditionalist to keep this original aspect of our game.If it's blatantly wrong like last night's, I'm sure the momentary outrage from the opponents would be worth it (before they quickly realise they got a freebie).
It would work like this:
- Keys kicks the "goal", umpire makes mistake and signals behind as Sydney prepare to kick out.
- AFL ARC the moment they realise this ball is going close to the post will initiate their 1 minute review window and get replays up ASAP. (alerting field umpire via in-ear but advising them to continue with play). If they miss this 1 minute window, the play stands as the review was likely inconclusive.
- Sydney begin kick out and take a mark off half back while ARC is reviewing. Sydney chip it fast to the middle of the wing
- Meanwhile ARC buzz the field umpire to stop play as their review concludes it was a goal, umpire explains and the best replay is shown on screen/TV immediately so people know what's going on.
- Umpire announces its a ball up in the middle with time reset. If its a behind instead of a goal, time reset and ball is taken back to kick out.
I'd also like to add that maybe this feature of ARC could be limited to the 4th quarter, as particularly this is where howlers truly "decide" the game.

It's much easier for the cameras to be able to determine the trajectory of the ball as it sails over the post (see Lynch 2022). On the very rare occasion that this did occur, the AFL just need to have a hard and fast rule on it. Scrap the umpire's call and make it either indeterminate = goal or indeterminate= behind. Though, the amount of times that this rule would have to be used would be so rare compared to other game defining rules.What happens on over the post?
Yeah, that is probably how it would work. I don't mind it becoming a goal if it is through off the post. Not a fan of the continuance of play if it rebounds into the field though, think it's too messy.It's much easier for the cameras to be able to determine the trajectory of the ball as it sails over the post (see Lynch 2022).

It was ruled a behind so there is no review.Isn’t the ARC supposed to review every goal just to make sure that there are no issues?
