2022 Finals Week One Fixture

[Industrial Fan]

Hopefully some sort of redemption for Gary.

Actually put his footprint on a final

Gary Rohan.... matchwinner. 3.1 and 14 touches.
Most likely outcome ; We'll play Collingwood in the Prelim, then Geelong in the GF.

Rohans done well in finals before. Grand finals, another story.

I wouldn't be suprised if the Pies are cooked after tonight and Freo get through to the prelim. But its all speculation and I've thought the Pies have been overrated all year (tonight did prove me wrong tho)

That'd be ideal. I think we could really roll Freo at home. They are 4-1-13 at the SCG.

Rohan 12 touches 2 goals 1.

Still want the Cats to lose so I can see Scott’s face. He’s got one of those faces like Hardwick you love to watch when they lose.

And there’s a lot of pressure on them given the minor premiership and their finals record.

Yes but think about Eddie's face right now ????

You mean the person in the best position to know? If you were going to trust anyone in that situation, it would have to be the goal umpire.

The criticisms I am reading of the review system in the ARC all seem to be based solely on viewing the camera footage that we see on the big screen.

But isn’t it the case that in the ARC they use Hawk-Eye technology on the camera vision to track the ball path over the goal line?

I assume this would be similar to the ball tracking used in tennis.

I believe that Hawk-Eye is extremely accurate but it does depend on the quality of the camera vision that is provided by the fixed cameras at the grounds and the vision provided by the TV camera operators.

The AFL certainly trialled Hawk-Eye back in 2013 (so nearly ten years ago). I don’t know what happened subsequently but that article I linked earlier says:

“Each game has a team of three on watch: a controller, who operates the camera angles and the Hawk-Eye technology; an analyst, who calls out what they see; and a supervisor.”

I wish someone would write an article that clearly explains how the review system is conducted. The one I reference only partly does that.

And I would have hoped AFL commentators would have invested effort into understanding it .....

That’s a tough choice

I had no idea that was in operation. Although, if that is the case then why wouldn’t it be a feature of the process that we see? I really don’t have much faith in the supposed certainty that we are presented with right now.

Also, isn’t the point of doing all this more for the perception than the reality? If the public doesn’t see the proof in an overturned decision surely it only adds to the controversy rather than helping to clear it up.

That puzzles me as well. It is a crowd/viewer favourite bit of entertainment at the tennis.

[stevoswan]

Frees five to one Fairypups way early. Dockers need to lift but that count is looking annoyingly ominous.

[longmile]

@@@@ing dogs

i hate them, their relationship with the umpires and the pavlovian primitive reaction i get from them

[stevoswan]

9 frees to 3 now.....it's like being kicked when your down for Freo at the moment.

They'd better get a wriggle on.

[jono2707]

What a massive choke from Freo in the first quarter. Nothing to do with the umpires. Will take a massive effort to turn it around from here.

It's disgusting how much of a free ride the Dogs get every week. Having said that, Freo are horrid right now.
