Matt White's goal that wasnt paid

[Simonator]

Was definitely a goal, Sitting right behind the points and I can safely say it didnt go through them ! Poor ump copped abuse for the rest of the game.

I think just get rid of the whole review system all together. But if they don't then yes have some sort of challenge system.. say the Captain gets 1 challenge a game or something.
But I'd rather it be gone all together, umps will 95% of the time get goals right.. and tbh it just slows down the game, read an interesting article about it on the Adelaide - Port game.

It was a clear goal on the tv replays. The ball went almost right over the goal ump's head. He must have mistakenly thought the ball clipped the back of the post or something? 

The main issue though is that it wasn't referred despite 7 Tigers yelling and pointing at the umps about it. If the AFL are going to keep this referral system then they may have to copy something similar to the NFL or Cricket where the teams can challenge a decision.

ya know, i reckon the players getting in the face of the umps and demanding they review it and making the video signal themsleves actually deters the maggots from doing so.

I get seriously peed off with seeing players constantly appealing to the umps for frees. It not Effing cricket.

Buffoons running around flapping their arms like Ding trying to fly and the sooking when they dont get their way.

Jack is one of the worst for this crap.

Just get on with the game you clowns and concentrate on getting the ball.

Riewoldt basically cries to the umpires when the opposition are the last to  touch the ball when it goes out claiming its deliberate
Have a close look.he would do it 10 times agame
Anymore flapping of the arms and he will take off

Stevic needs to be shot.

Umpires are never wrong.

Move along nothing to see here.

[gerkin greg]

What about Jack's goal that wasn't a goal?

or wasn't that a goal?

Umpires boss backs decision to award a behind to James Magner

AFL umpires boss Jeff Gieschen has launched a strong defence of the contentious James Magner video review, claiming the decision to award a behind was correct.

Collingwood president Eddie McGuire led the charge yesterday as the league came under fire for its video procedures, but Gieschen last night said of the Magner call: "We're very happy with that."

To the naked eye, Richmond's Ivan Maric and Jake Batchelor failed to touch Demon Magner's bouncing shot at goal before it crossed the line.

The goal umpire immediately stated he thought it was a goal, but field umpire Stuart Wenn and boundary umpire John Morris believed there was doubt.

Gieschen last night revealed the evidence of Morris, who ran in from the right pocket, was telling.

"Boundary umpire John Morris came in to say, 'I heard that ball scrape the boot'," Gieschen said. "He didn't see a deflection, but he definitely heard the sound."

Wenn, who ran in towards goal, said he saw a deflection but could not be sure if the ball had hit Maric's boot or Batchelor's hand.

The video replay proved inconclusive and it came down to weight of numbers.

In effect, the goal umpire, who thought it was a goal but was in doubt, was overruled by the opinion of two other umpires.

"When you have two guys who say they believe it is touched, that weight of numbers holds up," Gieschen said.

"Quite clearly the goal umpire was going to give a goal, but a boundary umpire and field umpire had considerable doubt."

Gieschen refused to comment when asked if Richmond had been contacted to confirm Maric had in fact touched the ball. It is understood the Tigers are steadfast in the belief the ball did deflect.

The league has confirmed goal umpire Peter Gonis made a mistake in not allowing a goal to Tiger Matthew White in the third term.

Gonis has been dropped for two weeks for the error after a video review was not called for.

"Quite clearly, it's a goal umpiring error," Gieschen said. "The disappointing thing from our end is we didn't call for a review.

"Goal umpires will make errors ... but we have a system that we can use."

With Magnar's From sitting behind the goals, it was touched twice, Maric & Batchelor.
White's was obviously a goal, we were in shock that it was called a behind.....
