Now we are even reviewing when the ball crosses the behind line. Surely, this isn’t necessary?
Halfway through the third quarter at GMHBA Stadium, the goal umpire and the central umpire called for a review that stalled the game for what seemed like an eternity.
In the end, the score review official had insufficient evidence to overturn the goal umpire’s decision, which was that the ball had crossed the behind line and was a point.
By the time the Kangaroos were permitted to bring the ball back into play, the Cats had well and truly reset.
The third quarter itself was a dull affair.
Geelong have the game in the bag and basically went through the motions, stretching their 51-point half-time lead to 10 goals.
Incredibly, the Kangaroos lead disposals 282-269 but this is because the Cats are more purposeful and direct. Geelong leads the inside-50 count 47 to 33, and the centre clearances 13-4.
