The umpire

FMD the AFL sometimes makes things more difficult than they need to be.

I mean, they claim they review every goal. So why didn’t we hear that voice from the box say, “Looking at this angle, we can see that the player deviated from his line and so played on after the siren. Result is on the scoreboard.”

Watching in real-time I thought McGovern played it well by planting his feet, not moving, but pointing and calling attention to the umpire.

Upon reflection, however, maybe he would have been better to sprint off his line as soon as Cameron deviated? Obviously that would have risked a 50 metre penalty but might, just might have conned the umpire?

The umpire called "Play On"!!!, that should be the end of it. Play on after the siren it is game over!!!
