Decision Review System

[bulldogtragic]

In the 2009 Preliminary Final, Riewoldts match winning goal was actually touched, but with no review system they win.

Last night Jake's little finger touched a decision called a goal. But with DRS, it's over turned. 5 points saved. At the siren, we were 5 points up.

There's a lot still to improve, but it made sure a wrong decision didn't cost us a prelim.

And quote from last night "I think it's a goal, but want it checked"

Re: Decision Review System

Excellent point. It seems those touched off the boot type decisions are where the DRS system is highly beneficial (as well as posters). Very hard call for a goal umpire to make, especially when often there may be players between them and the kicker/smotherer.

Re: Decision Review System

There's still confusion surrounding when the umpires facilitate a formal review because of a disagreement or clarification needing to be made, and the public's understanding (or lack of) that each goal that may be close is reviewed.

Re: Decision Review System

I think it has made goal umps less sure of themselves, and therefore less able to confidently make a call. I watch the footage when a review happens and I sure as hell cant see what they claim to see on review! If they're going to run with it, take decisions out of the umpire's hand, and use them to simply communicate scores -ie by signalling. Seen too many where the goal ump has made a call and the field ump has called for a review.

Lets not forget Libba's goal in 97, review would have reversed the decision and it would have been called a goal.

Was an 11 point turnaround just when we were wobbling - straight down the other end for Daniel to tighten the score.

Re: Decision Review System

So I pumped it up last week, but it may be my biased eyes, but for the life of me I'm not sure they over ruled the goal umpire on JJ's kick.

That was a goal - 100% certain.

I don't think from the footage shown that anyone can be 100% certain whether it was a goal or not, but that uncertainty is enough for it to go back to the original goal umpires decision.

I'm glad it wasn't relevant in the end, but they reviewer should be sacked. Using a 2D image with a heap of doubt, and the goal umpire was perfectly positioned. Rubbish.

Exactly!

Re: Decision Review System

The reviewer was basically overruling a decision based on a possible margin of a few cm.
Add to that there is really no point of reference to align the camera and the goal line. You can't directly imagine a straight line
from the middle of the camera shot to the line on the ground because that is not accurate (camera positioning on the post, camera lens type, depth perception, distance etc). There is no hawkeye animation review like in the tennis or cricket where it shows the margin (or computed margin), so it is a naked eye guess based on an inaccurate image. With the small margin in question you simply can't overrule the decision.
If the umpire had said I think it was touched can you prove otherwise then that is different.

Anyway we won but had we not and that margin was a factor then crikey I would be fuming.

I know it makes no difference but:
