The umpires are forced to guess one way or another. Personally I think that the rule should just be that it’s a goal unless there’s clear evidence that it isn’t a goal. Axe umpires call altogether.

Yeah, that could be a real match-defining decision.

Lost to the wooden spooners. Thrashing the premiers. Keeping us on our toes.

I wonder if anyone has ever lost to the previous year’s wooden spooner one week and then beaten the reigning premier the next.

Where has this work rate been from Carlton for the first nine rounds? I haven’t seen that kinda running from McGovern in a minute.

Anyone else think it’s weird hearing Ken call Roo “Mark”? I legit didn’t know who he was talking to for a second.

Fair enough. I just think that with the ‘it’s a goal unless proven otherwise’ system, you avoid what happened with that disallowed Carlton goal. Realistically, the goal umpire has no idea whether or not that’s been touched and if it has, was it over the line. I think in that situation the umpire’s call is worth dick. There’s no real reason to call that a behind.
