Umpires, do, sometimes, get it wrong, but everybody plays to the rules and, in the end, both teams eventually benefit from an umpire's wrong call at times. I missed the game but from reports, I feel for both teams, especially as the call went against the Tiggers.
    Sh!t. I've had a lifetime of footy games decided by a kick, or a call. Both teams deserved to win blah blah blah. Every cliche under the sun. That's the beauty of scores in a contest. Winners and Losers. Clear cut.....as my old man used to say, "It's why men read a paper from the back page. The rest is just opinion."

    People were screaming for a goal review system, and now they've got one....whether that was a small loud group (pies supporters after 2002 maybe) or more, I dunno. I'm happy to go with it either way.

    Personally, I thought it was a point in real time, and having seen the footage, I STILL think it was....(I picked the Tigers by the way)

    A goal kicked after the siren that downed the Pies.. using the AFL score review system, that would have been another GF win to the Pies. LOL

    I dislike Wayne Harmes, John Nicholls & Kevin Bartlett just wanted to say that.. LOL
    Hahahahaha...Kerry Goode. I watched that with two pies supporters. As a North guy, I was delighted, even if the result was bullsh!t and that mark should never been allowed....

    They paid up the bets too...

    You shouldn't have...turned into a stunner after the first quarter. Although the first quarter was stunning for a different reason.

    My brother is here atm. He's from Perth although he's not a Freo supporter (Carlton for him Al) but his son and some mates were there...had an amazing sound on the phone....

    Fair enough, not having seen the game, or the replay. I agree with you, the umpires should be able to call it. Regardless of video evidence the umpire's decision should be final . If video evidence is consistently different to the ump, then the ump should be out of a job.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    I agree with enf, to me it was a point, Lynch wasn’t sure after he kicked it, the goal umpire called it a goal, the AFL set the guidelines that the evidence had to be definitive to overrule the goal umpire, watching the evidence it sure wasn’t definitive, I have no issue having a review system but in this instance I do not believe the guidelines were followed correctly, sack the reviewer….
