One would hope that the running joke that the referral system in the second cricket Test has become would be cause for Adrian Anderson to rethink his proposal for a third goal umpire to check contentious scoring adjudications during the 2010 pre-season AFL competition.
Cricket, with its natural space for reviewing decisions, has got a technical system that delivers at least as much uncertainty as the blokes in white shirts standing at either end of the pitch.
Trying to insert an obviously similarly flawed system into the hurly burley of an AFL contest, without the flawed assistance of a snickometer or a hotspot camera, is a recipe for disappointment. Give it away now, Adrian.
