Aquestionable score review late in Sunday’s AFL four-point loss to Brisbane didn’t cost Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin’s team a chance to win, but it didn’t help either.<\/p>\n
The Demons were coming home with a wet sail in the final term at Metricon Stadium, trailing by just three points with just over two minutes to play when Jake Lever marked a ball on the goal line.<\/p>\n
Lever played on quickly and the Demons were seemingly on their way to spark another attack when play was halted to undertake a score review.<\/p>\n
The review showed Lever had grabbed the ball before it went through for a behind but by the time play had restarted the Lions had reset their defence.<\/p>\n
Goodwin didn’t believe the review prevented his team winning the match, but he was left scratching his head about the AFL’s Review Centre (ARC) and its application.<\/p>\n
“Clearly we were out, we had opportunity.<\/p>\n
“It’s not the reason why we lost the game, but it certainly didn’t help late in the game.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully we’ll get the ARC system better. It’s nice and fancy but it’s not doing much.”<\/p>\n
Of more concern to Goodwin was a moment with just over a minute to play when Bayley Fritsch conceded a 50-metre penalty for taking too long to hand over the ball following an out-of-bounds kick.<\/p>\n
The decision gave Brisbane a free pass outside their defensive 50 and ensured the Lions could close out the match.<\/p>\n
“That’s one of those occasions that we need to be better,” Goodwin said.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got the ball in our half of the ground late in the game and have a chance to win, so yeah we do, we need to be better.<\/p>\n
“Discipline is about doing the right thing, at the right time, all the time. Good teams are disciplined sides.”<\/p>\n
