More video cock-ups to come?

Far be it for AussieRulesBlog to be critical before the first bounce, but what is AFL Football Operations boss Mark Evans smoking?

 

Apparently, having multiple pictures on one screen improves the rate of “conclusive” video review decisions.

 

Pull the other one, Mark.

 

Let’s get this straight. If an umpire makes a dumb call and asks for a video review for touched off the boot, a million SD pictures on the screen aren’t going to get to a conclusive review. Technology can’t compensate for stupidity.

 

The same report on the AFL website suggests they are well down the road toward installing goalpost cameras. ABOUT TIME, YOU DUNDERHEADS! We assume they’ll point them along the goal line . . .

 

The pre-season “challenge” will show whether Evans has used the off-season well or not.

 

Fingers crossed.
