They wont be fixing or upgrading this year, that would be like admitting that the decision was wrong. Sometime during or after next season we might see an upgrade.
The decision was wrong. No assumption required. The issue at hand, however, is that the AFL required someone to make an adjudication with sub standard data. That same sub standard data will likely be utilised again this season by another nuffie who at some stage will determine the outcome of a game based on a guess at best. It is wrong for the AFL to assume that it is good enough.Assuming the decision was wrong.

Only AFL apologists and those with a vested interest in the AFL apparatchik see nothing of concern with the ARC.
we have been here beforeAssuming the decision was wrong.
The goal umpire agreed.we have been here before
This is the footage that proves it but you just refuse to accept it. It cannot be anything but a goal

That means by definition you must agree that the final decision was wrong. Given the goal umpire signalled a goal then there must be conclusive evidence to over turn it.Again, there's no way from that to say it's right or wrong with any certainty.

Sorry TBR, but the fact that Dimma has said nothing doesn't mean he's satisfied with the explanation. I believe that the club decided that there is nothing to gain from kicking up a further stink.The point I'm making is none of us actually know if it was correct or not. We can't say if it was correct or not because we haven't seen the evidence (or not).
Our coach has though and he isn't saying anything.
I would say that is totally the way our club works now. Why would he say anything? There is nothing to be gained from it apart from being called whingers. There is also no gain in embarrassing the AFLOur coach has though and he isn't saying anything.
No however the protocol was that an umpires decision could only be overturned in light of conclusive evidence , you can’t fool anyone what was produced was conclusive meaning the umpire at the foot of the goal post was in most commanding position to callThat's an emotional response though, the facts are the AFL has said the decision was correct and our coach has been through the ARC, had the decision explained to him and not come out and said anything different.
There's no basis to assume the decision was wrong (or right) based on anything we have seen or heard.
Wonder if that's where the old saying of discretion being the better part of valour emanates from?the facts are the AFL has said the decision was correct and our coach has been through the ARC, had the decision explained to him and not come out and said anything different.

I don't think it is poor at all. Why would saying the decision is wrong benefit the members? There is a strong argument to say the opposite.The fact the club hasn't followed this up with an explanation to the members is very poor, I think.
Dimma's silence means Part II starts this season. He'll open the case behind the scenes again I reckon.I don't think it is poor at all. Why would saying the decision is wrong benefit the members? There is a strong argument to say the opposite.
I take Dimma's silence in the exact opposite way to you. My view is that if he thought the decision was correct he would have said so and by saying nothing my strong suspicion is that is not the Club's view.

I am a member and I don't expect to hear from the club about it because I think it would be counter productiveBecause I think if we have lost a final because an incorrect overruling of an umpire's decision then we are entitled to know that and what is going to be done to address it in future.
The club opened the door by questioning the decision after the game and in the media following. To then go and have a tour and not follow up by letting everyone know where it stands is not good enough.
It's not like they have to blow up the AFL, we saw the footage and don't agree it was sufficient to overrule if all they needed to say.
