There are calls for AFL goal umpires to back themselves in after two of the opening three goals of Thursday night’s blockbuster were reviewed.

Collingwood defeated Brisbane 14.8 to 10.12 to claim their first win of the season and condemn the Lions to a 0-3 record, which includes two losses at the Gabba.

There was another bizarre score review when Collingwood’s Jamie Elliott’s goal was only confirmed after it was reviewed to check if the ball was touched off the boot. A second fan said: “May as well not have goal umpires anymore and let technology make all decision. Goal umpires have no confidence in making decisions. Not a good look.”

Several 35-minute quarters at the start of the season have sparked debate about how the AFL can reduce in-game delays.
