Indeed. So if the ball goes 5 metres over the line and the boundary umpire suffers a sudden bout of snow blindness and misses it the field umpires aren’t gunna call it OOB. Sure thing….

Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

The Great Gaslighter says it is true. He is the only one who knows the rules. Him and Chris Scott and “people who really know football”.
You even disagree when you're being agreed with. You're an old man returning soup at a deli.
This is just hyperbole TM. It's not incompetence, it's a mistake.
I've seen fantastically skilled cricket umpires make terrible decisions, but they certainly weren't incompetent.
Everyone loses concentration, looks the wrong way, or just stuffs up from time to time. And when it is a really unusual situation like that one, natural human reaction is to keep quiet and let it roll.
It's a split second moment in real time, without the benefit of a slow mo or replay. We shouldn't see it for more than it is.
Oh well if it happened in your son's game then obviously that is the standard we should defer to. I humbly stand corrected.
Ask yourself this for me. Out of all the times you've seen a field umpire go to a goal umpire and discuss a score review, have you ever heard the field umpire offer their opinion on what happened?
Because logically if field umpires are overruling wouldn't they be saying to the goal umpire, no that looked like a goal or a point instead of letting them make the wrong umpire's call?
You haven't heard that because the field umpire doesn't overrule the goal or boundary. Even when a goal umpire gets crunched the field umpire doesn't make the call.
If there was an earthquake and the ground opened up and a dinosaur came out of the ground and ate everyone and then the dinosaur laid eggs and the eggs hatched and then Superman came and fought the dinosaurs and won and then the boundary umpire fought Superman then the umpire might have to review their roles.
I'm currently in a semi final battle in a Supercoach league with a big cash prize on the line.
I have Petracca and if that had been called a goal he would have got a massive boost in points which would have sealed the win for me.
I'd just like to take this opportunity to say *smile* the cheating *smile* umpires, the *smile* cheating score review, the *smile* corrupt AFL and especially the *smile* cheating umpires.

Why are you making excuses for the inexcusable??? The standard of AFL umpiring is abysmal.
Umpire sycophant? Geelong supporter?
I'm trying to remember them all but they pass over me so quickly due to my high level of self satisfaction that is hard to make them stick.
Lol - which sport have you been watching for the last 5 years????? Or did seeing Cameron get gifted multiple goals in his last two games by very poor umpiring just an illusion?
An illusion that spread across the football landscape and this is just some of the crap dished up by the standard of AFL umpiring.
But hey, keep your head in the sand and enjoy that view lol
Do you watch every single game each week? Do you have stats on how many decisions are correct or incorrect or missed? How this compares to other seasons?
I would have thought that would be the bare minimum to make any sort of judgement on the standard.
I was raised to hate collingwood and carlton above all else wouldnt matter if geelong won 10 flags in a row
