The Gold Coast Suns have expressed concerns over the AFL's new ball-tracking technology following an error that led to them losing a match against Collingwood by three points. The technology incorrectly registered a touch on the boot of Jamie Stanton, overturning the on-field umpire’s decision and costing the Suns a goal.
Gold Coast have voiced concerns about the AFL’s new ball-tracking technology following a costly error in their three-point loss to Collingwood on Friday.
The Suns have requested a “demonstration and explanation” of the new initiative, after the league acknowledged the ball-tracking technology, brought in for AFLW this season, incorrectly registered a touch off the boot of Gold Coast’s Jamie Stanton.Stanton’s snap, which was initially ruled a goal by the on-field umpire, was overturned by the score assist official, whom the AFL said “viewed one angle of vision that aligned” with the ball-tracking technology.
“We are, however, more concerned with the ball-tracking technology incorrectly recording the ball was touched. “The score assist official at the ground viewed one angle of vision that aligned with the ball so intervened to overturn the decision to award a goal. The technology inside the ball detects if it crosses the goal line, hits the post or is touched in flight.
“This is obviously disappointing news for Emma and our program,” North Melbourne general manager of women’s football Erin Lorenzini said.
