There was still 60s in play after this
But how can you argue that Sydeny wouldn’t have kicked a goal from the centre in the last 60s?
If that was an after the siren shot… you’d have a case

Re: Crows v swans
What a silly thing to say.
Umpires make mistakes just like all other humans.
As we’ve just seen.
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

Re: Crows v swans
A complete shambles. At the very least a review was called for.
if Collingwood or Essendnon was in danger of mssing the finals the AFL would feel compelled to do something.
The Saints? Suck it up and just remember who subsidises your club.

Re: Crows v swans
CQ Saint is correct.
The AFL say every goal is reviewed and checked - what happened in this case ?
Looks like a very costly error and makes the ARC a farce.

Re: Crows v swans
What the Royal F@rk are you on about - talk about playing the man - Have you opened your F@rking Eyes and looked at the Vision
4 actual Brawls started in Adelaide because of this ridiculous call
It was a sh!t decision and it affected US - how the F@rk do you equate that to a free kick count when we were first to the ball - Geelong were lethargic and not interested
You are a truly SAD individual and a keyboard warrior
THE UMPIRE in his Unprofessional opinion GOT IT F@RKING WRONG and will be umpiring the Upper Humpty Doo 5th Next week.
I have called for the ARC to review everything that would cause a fan to spit his beer - and this was one of those cases
PS - It is PAR for the Course - not F@rking PAT for the course - who the F@rk is Pat??????
Again - you are a SAD individual - who reeks of Trollness and Un St Kilda like persona
Go to R/AFL - 6 threads with over 1,000 comments in total about this farce.

Re: Crows v swans
It's a conspiracy between the footy gods and the AFL I'm sure
Expect the usual grovelling apology from the AFL - yep, we got it wrong (again). Goal umpire is banished to the reserves in outback South Australia and all is well. AFL has "solved" the problem.
The goal umpire was well positioned in theory. Maybe he got confused which post he was standing next to. He lost the ball in the lights, heard the Swans player hit the goalpost padding and thought it was the ball. I have no idea. Still shaking my head that he was so confident it was a point.
There is a footage from the crowd behind the goals going around as well that shows a very clear gap between the ball and the goalpost.
Oh, well, on to next week.

Re: Crows v swans
The Sydney players knew it was a goal and played on straight away because they didn't want it reviewed. But that was another umpiring error. Players from both sides were in the protected area (15 metres around the goal) and so the ball should not have been allowed to be brought back into play. We see that every week where the ball is brought back. It happened in our game last night. S*** happens as they say, but this was one of the biggest stuff ups ever, right up there with the "poster" that was called a goal in the 2009 GF that was not called and siren-gate. Alas, all three were to our detriment. This is likely to cost us a finals position.

Re: Crows v swans
This'll cause a permanent change.
Which has happened after a raft of 'unfortunates' that have cost St Kilda.
Still, cat and crow tears of anguish and agony on the same night, as their season is ended.... mmmmm.

Re: Crows v swans
They said it hit the back of the goal post padding - which is still a behind - but Adelaide should have asked for a review. Plus the play on straight away with everyone in the protected area was ridiculous.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Crows v swans
big ripple effect. geelong out, crows out, essendon out - all on this result. and potentially us as well. possibly the worst call ever given goal technology didn't exist in 2009.

Re: Crows v swans
If you look carefully at that fan video from behind the goals that was posted above, you can identify the source of the problem.
Purely for aerodynamic reasons arising from the unusual amount of spin that Keays put on his shot, the ball wobbled in an odd way just as it was reaching the post. The umpire, who wasn't standing in the best possible position and who heard a noise from the Swans player hitting the post, interpreted this as meaning that the ball had brushed the post on the way through.
He was obviously 100% convinced he was correct, but he's still an idiot because he should have referred a close call in such an important moment of a match to the review.
According to fans on other forums, he's got form: he's allegedly the same goal ump who missed a poster that would have turned the result of a Port vs Crows game a few years back.
I have the same problem with this process as with the cricket review system: ie, if you are going to have a review system, you should have it in use all the time and not leave it to the discretion of on-field umpires or players. When I first saw how soccer did it I though it was a bit cumbersome, but I reckon it's a better approach. There'll still be mistakes, but at least you won't have the agony of an obvious howler not being overturned because of obstacles in the process.
