The AFL's score review system is in the spotlight again after Richmond appeared to be robbed of a goal in the second quarter of their clash with Geelong at the MCG.
The system came in for widespread criticism after the league admitted to two errors in round 11, Fremantle's Michael Walters wrongly credited a goal in a four-point win over Collingwood at the MCG and a major to West Coast's Oscar Allen incorrectly paid.
Jack Higgins looked to have booted a much-needed goal on Friday night to stop a run of five unanswered majors by the Cats, but a score review was called for when the goal umpire asked for confirmation the ball had hit the post.
One camera angle looked to show a clear gap between the post and the ball but the score reviewer's decision was to definitively award a behind.
"It's embarrassing to have a goal review system where we (get) another angle after it has been reviewed," Tigers champion Matthew Richardson said on the Channel Seven broadcast.
"It is a goal.
"We saw all of the angles that the goal review umpire saw."
The AFL blamed a technical issue for the error in the Dockers-Magpies game, but admitted the reviewer in the Eagles-Western Bulldogs game at Optus Stadium got it wrong.
