Surely they could allow the system enough flexibility to stop retarded poo poo like that from happening. Or are umpires to stupid to be granted any kind more autonomy than is absolutely necessary

I don't know, the review system seems fine to me. If it's that obvious that it came off his foot then they wouldn't say "umpire's call", they'd just call it a goal. If they're not sure then it seems silly to overturn the decision.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually seen the footage.


On the other hand, I see why Brisbane are filthy about the stretcher thing. I honestly think someone's done it as a tactic. Whether it's the runner, or if he got instruction from a coach, who knows, but it just seems really convenient to me and it legitimately alters the likelihood of Brisbane reclaiming the lead right towards the end of the match.

Yeah, the Sydney thing is really hosed. I'm not sure how to stop it though. Not super comfortable with changing it so stretchers only come on at the next stop of play rather than stopping play when they are needed.

LeCras was running in front of Kennedy when he kicked the ball, LeCras ducked as it was kicked but there was a clear deflection, so the goal umpire requested a review as he thought Kennedy's kick was touched by a teammate.

They did the review and the ball clearly hit LeCras' heel but it also had clearly missed touching his back on the way through, so it should have been called a goal to LeCras. The review ump instead went back with Umpires call, which was originally touched so it counted as as a behind.

It's a bit of a waste of having a score review system when they can review a rare instance like this and still come up with the incorrect result because of the process they have in place.

I swear there was a rule about once a stretcher comes on you have to use it and the player can't come back on for a certain amount of time, not that that matters right at the end.

I'm not sure who they have to beat before people will admit they are a decent team. It was meant to be the dogs but it's looking like the dogs have been severely overrated because they are media darlings. It's funny how no one has really mentioned we were down a player for 3 quarters and Sam Wright also injured for most of the game.

They were expected to lose by 40 points and only lost by 33, hence gained 7 in the ratings.

That's not a problem with the system or the process, though. The process is clear - check to see if there is evidence of a clear goal or a clear behind. If not, go with the umpire's call.

If it's clearly missed his back, then the third umpire should call it a goal. That's what the process says. If he's not sure that it's missed his back, then he can't overturn the umpire's decision, that would be stupid.

The footage in that link cuts off midway through the review but it's not 100% obvious to me that the ball hasn't slid up and clipped his back on the way through. Might have been clearer if the clip went longer though.

If it is clear, like you say, then the third umpire hosed up. Nothing to do with the process.

It didn't touch his back (you can still see the shadow of the ball and it never alters it's spin), but may have come off of his boot - which should be a goal anyway. No issue with the process though. It's a weird one to judge irrespective of what actually happened.

Lecca's dribble goal was way cooler anyway.

It's probably a goal, but personally I like the fact that the thrid umpire decided it wasn't conclusive enough and said so instead of rolling the same footage back and forwards for three minutes expecting a different result before guessing. If you can't definitively tell from a run through of each available angle then don't get involved.

I dunno, kicking a goal from that far out by having it deflect off your boot would actually be pretty cool IMO.

I disagree, I don't think it's definite enough to overrule. From that footage it could possibly have touched his back. You do know that you can cast a shadow on a thing you're touching, right?
