Yes they admitted they got it wrong, but are insisting the out of bounds mark was ok
That was after seeking the opinion of four other peopleSo one of the coaches only gave Josh Daicos a 1

Considering how many predictions you got wrong, suggesting you have acute insight based on 2 similar observations to King is disingenuous.
Based on the tone and demeanor, and criticism you’ve received about your negativity, I think my post was more than fair.Again, like so many on this forum (crazy how little it’s changed over the years) who are so quick to instantly take a shot at those they don’t like rather than think before you post, missed the point of the post

I did not miss the point.
And one of either Dangerfield or Stewart 4!Seriously, that bloke has got to be the most pig headed idiot on the planet. The kid got 38 disposals, and not just cheapies, like genuinely damaging stuff. Cut them up all over the park and 1 vote?
Piss off… I haven’t seen the votes, but I’m assuming he gave out of bounds Cameron 5?
haha thats pretty funny from vic police.
One of the critical elements of umpiring that the majority of people still don't appreciate is how subjective the game is. I agree, under how the law is interpreted it was definitely play on; every single time. However, if the same thing happened to Cameron and Geelong kicked a goal from it, this board would have been ropeable. But tough t***ies, that's the game.The narrative that the umpiring was diabolical both ways is a crock - the bounce that lead to the first goal in the third shouldn’t have been recalled. It was within the circle and actually favoured Stanley, just because he chose not to jump and contest it doesn’t make it dodgy. That’s on him, he choose to stand there which enabled Cameron to tap it down to DeGoey, who was also unimpeded and allowed to run through.

Despite not impacting the poor calls over the weekend, which were just genuine blunders, I think the AFL could do more to help umpires.I’m very very slowly come to the realisation that making the umpires full time won’t change anything.
We just need better umpires because the ones we have right now are terrible.
Not sure how making umpires full time suddenly means they start paying frees to Ginnivan.
They also shouldn’t need to be full time to know Cameron was out of bounds when he received that handball
They’re all just terrible and we need new ones.
The only real solution I can come up with (and it’s most certainly not a guaranteed one) is attempting to get recently retired players as umps.
They’d have the fitness to cover the ground, meaning we can maybe go back to 2 umpires so there’s more consistency in calls. I feel like they’d also have a better feel for the game and see stuff more todays umps maybe don’t.
That one was truly bizarre. Not sure what happened - Rodan doesn't usually make mistakesJust watched Ollie’s last goal.
Looked like a point and Rodan was about to signal one yet paid it a goal?

To go all the way this year, we need to get more out of JDG. These 18 disposal, no goal games won't cut the mustard come September.
He stepped up in a huge way during the finals last year and we need that again from him. He hasn't been the same player since his suspension but we need to see a big lift over the next 2 weeks, then he'll be primed to tear apart the finals.
The initial signal is to indicate to the other umpires that a score has been attained, and not necessarily that the score itself is a behind. Customarily it is used for behinds to prevent umpires expending unnecessary energy but in this case basically just an indication that the ball doesn’t need to be collected by the umpire (as the shot was after the siren )haha thats pretty funny from vic police.
i see they made a post about the carlton touch against Melbourne as well. The Arc was brought in to stop the howler decisions that are so wrong its obvious.
Cameron's goal is a howler... a touch on the goal line is not as the camera angles and Quality is not up to scratch to be able to identify a fingernail on a ball.
I have seen marks paid with more ball contact from opposition than that.
and Surprise surprise.... AFL360 Gerard doesnt even bring it up tonight (because it involves geelong)... only the MELB v Carl touch
if Q touches the kick from Cameron the arc would have reviewed it silently in the background and told the umpires on the way back to the centre they need a closer look and review it as a behind... but for some unknown reason they couldnt see an obvious play on out of bounds by the same kicker. its a systemic breakdown of applying the laws of the game in an AFL match.
Imagine if one of the ruck just takes the ball off the umpire at the center bounce before he bounces the footy and just plays on and umpires say nothing and just let it go.....exactly the same as this debacle.
and then on the big screen its replayed over and over and the other umpires see it and get a bit worried about their own decisions... and what we saw happen with the last call from Geelong on the siren... the goal umpire signals a behind and then signals a goal... because hes flustered under the pressure!
See screenshots below..... he even went to signal touched before he signaled the goal... it was the worst AFL umpiring performance i have seen in a long time.
Nice explanation. Sounds totally logical. I'm hoping Rodan gets a GF gig.The initial signal is to indicate to the other umpires that a score has been attained, and not necessarily that the score itself is a behind. Customarily it is used for behinds to prevent umpires expending unnecessary energy but in this case basically just an indication that the ball doesn’t need to be collected by the umpire (as the shot was after the siren )
Technically correct by the goal umpire, but customarily a signal that gets associated with a behind being scored.
Despite not impacting the poor calls over the weekend, which were just genuine blunders, I think the AFL could do more to help umpires.
Moving away from rules where the umpire has to try and read the mind of the player (insufficient intent, resisting a tackle leading to high contact, etc.) would be a good start. Some serious investment in the ARC technology would be another - you only have to watch basically any other professional sport to realise how far behind we are in terms of high quality zoomed in camera angles, for one example.
