What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Azeeto Brushless Home and Garden Power Tools are built to work. Do it with Azeeto. Do you. And the Ford Ranger Triple Stack Deal are participating Ford dealers now. You're listening to Crunch Time.
I've got a strong opinion. I do, and I don't often share it, but the technology is not up to scratch. And I know that because I've seen technology out there that's way better than what we're using. And the AFL have seen it too. And the decision itself is what it is, but the technology doesn't show the full picture. Like, you're watching, and now we only see what's on the screen. It misses a frame. Now, it probably looked like it was touched, but in significant evidence, we've got technology that's there to be used. Not sure why the AFL are resisting using it.
Why do hosts argue the AFL's goal-review technology is 'not up to scratch'?
Well, the AFL's new cameras will arrive in August. They've been leased for the next five years. I believe Craig McRae has actually been shown this technology, which is 440 frames a second. And Collingwood and other coaches have really enjoyed what they saw. But it doesn't discount the fact last night that... the technology isn't necessarily at its absolute best. So this follows Patrick Lipinski's shot for goal when Cam Zerha touched the ball. That wasn't inconclusive. What was inconclusive is whether he touched it before the line or over the line. In the end, the soft call was the behind and it remained a behind. It didn't decide the game. The Pies won anyway. But there's no doubt, Simmo and Bix, that new technology can't come soon enough in a billion-dollar industry.
Yeah, look, once again, exactly what Craig McRae said.
What evidence do presenters cite about missed camera frames affecting decisions?
If it's available and it's out there, the technology, you've just got to bite the bullet and do it. And I know that people or the AFL will say, well, it's expensive if we play one game or two games in Darwin and we have to somehow go up there and put all the technology up there. But like you said, it's a billion-dollar industry. Results... can be decided by touches of the ball. And in Adelaide's case, you know, errors in that area cost them a spot in the finals, which impacts people's careers and all those types of things. So if the technology is available.
Talk about the lost showdown, did you? Yeah. Exactly the one that hit the post. Just pick out the ones you want.
Anyway, that's exactly right, Ken. So it cost your showdown record. But yeah, you've just got to do it. And for all the things they spend other money on, yeah, you just think this is one of the principles of our game about getting the decisions right and understanding there's still going to be human error. But control what you can control, I think, is the message for me.
Swings and roundabouts if it went your way and they've got to look into it if it didn't go your way. That's what I hear every week from a coach. And I don't know. I don't have the answer. I mean, even the best cameras in the world are going to miss some things as well. And if they did bring these cameras in and there was a game in Darwin and you didn't have the cameras there, then that's the way it is. And we can just rely on the... eight umpires we have on the ground at the time. So, yeah, I think it's not the be-all and end-all, but I don't think getting the new cameras is going to...
When will the AFL's new higher-frame cameras be introduced and what do they promise?
stop the talkback and the conversations on big decisions. It might just limit it, though.
It might limit it, yeah. There'll be less controversies because this new camera is 200 frames a second. The ones that they've been using are 40 frames a second. So, tangibly, what sort of difference does it make? We'll have to wait and see, but that's coming in the next month. I'm more interested in taunting. And, Simo, what do you think of, A, the AFL rule and, B, the interpretation?
Um... Well, the rule's the rule. So I think I was – Ken, we were talking about it, and you can explore your dummy bag that you've been banging on about. Oh, give us. But it's the rule, so don't do it. And what's a little bit bizarre is that you can do everything other than touch the follicles. And, you know, don't touch the head, don't touch the hair, because we're going to call it a free kick.
