Whether or not it was a mistake, the goal umpire was in the wrong position.
Ump's performance today was diabolical. I reckon I was scratching my head over 10 decisions that went the Tiges way and a similar number that went the Giants way.
And not mention all the "no calls"...
Oh well 4 points - I'll take it.
Fun Ha!

The 'advantage' rule is totally bewildering. Whichever way the call goes, we usually end up being disadvantaged.
The umpiring was just plain awful today. The gift given to GWS against Batch before the ball was bounced? The non deliberate call against Power? The non call to check that the ball went in ( which looked very much like it didn't ) when Edwards goaled? It seemed most 50/50 frees were given to GWS. Saying todays umpiring today was OK is just a bloody joke.
We were not great today and couldn't hit the side of a barn but fair is bloody fair.

No one should be surprised we are on the wrong end of the free kick count:
In 2012 we have WON 4 LOST 7 DRAWN 1 free kick counts, you know what makes this more amazing is , we won our first 3 free kick counts, rounds 1-2-3
After round 3 we were +13, we are now -11.

The 1988 study was called The Dark Side of Self and Social Perception: Black Uniforms and Aggression in Professional Sports:

Black is viewed as the color of evil and death in virtually all cultures. With this association in mind, we were interested in whether a cue as subtle as the color of a person's clothing might have a significant impact on his or her behavior. To test this possibility, we examined whether professional football and ice hockey teams that wear black uniforms are more aggressive than those that wear nonblack uniforms. An analysis of the penalty records of the National Football League and the National Hockey League indicate that teams with black uniforms in both sports ranked near the top of their leagues in penalties throughout the period of study. On those occasions when a team switched from nonblack to black uniforms, the switch was accompanied by an immediate increase in penalties. The results of two laboratory experiments indicate that this finding can be attributed to both social perception and self-perception processes—that is, to the biased judgments of referees and to the increased aggressiveness of the players themselves. Our discussion focuses on the theoretical implications of these data for an understanding of the variable, or "situated," nature of the self.

A big load of claptrap. Fancy having wasted some big dollars on that study.
Everybody knows the goodie cowboys wore white hats and the baddies wore black hats. ;D

I taped this game so I could replay bits. This looked like it didnt go over the line and should have been a goal to Edwards. But where was the referral?

:hihi
Fair amount of evidence to support that hypothesis.
