[Enviable Tradition]

Every goal is reviewed, not just the theatre ones. There was no overrule. There's no way to overturn the decision.

Are points reviewed though?

Genuine question.

lol are you *ing for real? Put the boot on our foot - what would u be saying?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a goal. But if the goal umpire is confident in his decision, why would he decide to review it? It’s up to the goal umpire if he’s unsure.

I think the ball brushed the top of the padding on the back of the post.

Nah, it was a goal… enjoy it

 

[JB1989]

I dare say this behind will take priority over the news over McAdam not having a concussion test (from what I saw he didn't).....

I expect they would have looked at it. Would have gone to umpire's call, insufficient evidence.

I hope this burns for 6 months at West Lakes.

It was a goal and would have been overturned on a proper review. There is too much space between the ball and the post to say it's inconclusive. It just makes it all even funnier though.

I’ve stopping listening.
I can only cope with so much schadenfreude in one night.
Also apart from Crowey’s histrionics I do actually feel a bit sorry for them.
Still their first half was abysmal and if they hadn’t conceded so many points early on they would have easily won with that last quarter which was pretty impressive.

Maybe just take three minutes more over it

That will be conveniently overlooked even though he was clearly hit in the head.

 

[Marmozet]

If you don’t reckon it was a point, then read the paper tomorrow and it’ll definitely be a point.

 

[PowerBaz]

Hahahahahaha they started a thread on their board about taking the AFL to court to get the result overturnedh

Sounds inviting…

 

[Andy_B]

and nicks pours water all over complaining to the AFL, waffles all over the place. blames their first half instead

definitely hit the padding. Umpire in perfect position.

 

[PA88]

I wish I was in the position of that goal umpire

 

[PowerBaz]

At least Rachele and Rankine can get the crowd excited next week playing the worst team in the comp. I expect to see some moonwalking on the fence or something.

Which would be appropriate, because that's where their team was born.

 

[Duck Farmer]

He should get a promotion

With the "You've signed a coach nobody wants!" voiceover as the stinger every time they interview Koch, Hinkley, or Davies. Would be brilliant.

Nah, never.

I still cant stop laughing too funny.

China could invade Taiwan and you wouldn't hear about it for week if you only had access to the Adelaide media.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

AFL might want to make something out of it - if they are smart enough.

 

[Andy_B]

its gonna be a long week in Adelaide with the media.

if you think the missed Dawson free at the end of the pies game was bad.

Strap in

 

[Handyandy]

Ball went nowhere near it.

Went near enough apparently

 

[Andy_B]
