Round 23 Crows v Swans

[The Big Cat]

This whole saga has a stench about it. Goal ump was adamant it’s hit the post, Lloyd standing under the post agreed and so did the field ump. The only ‘definitive’ vision we get (and is used on the media such as AFL360) comes from a phone behind the goals. A second phone video seems to tally with what the goal ump saw and appears incompatible with that first phone video to surface. Something is suss.

Thanks for posting. Have been waiting all week to find out Lloydy's view. Very, very interesting to see that one of the field umpires also thought it hit the post. Yet the poor goal umpire has been hung, drawn and quartered based on footage that is so dicey that the score reviewer has an "umpire's call" option to defer to.

And the field umpire was Brett Rosebury 500+ AFL matches umpired - so can’t be dismissed as a novice.

The way Gill has treated the goal umpire has been appalling. Time the AFL Umpires Association came out and defended him.

But will he get the GF this year.

Good point (pun probably not intended)

Alas no pun.....but thanks for pointing that out.
