The AFL has backed the Review Centre for not overturning a controversial Collingwood goal late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's preliminary final.
Magpies forward Josh Thomas' kick appeared to be touched by GWS' Lachie Keeffe after his finger bent back during the replay.
Now 'silently' revising all scores, the Review Centre did not intervene with the umpire's ruling despite strong evidence that they should have.
The AFL has admitted that while the ball appeared to be touched by Keeffe, the reviewer made the right call.
The decision has been highly scrutinised around AFL circles.
“To me that looked like Lachie Keeffe’s finger had bent back,” former Geelong captain Cameron Ling told Channel 7.
SEN's Gerard Whateley went so far to say it was a “catastrophic failure of a diabolical review system”.
“That decision is an absolute disgrace… we’ve got a review system for a reason, everybody could see that was a behind,” Nathan Brown said on Triple M.
Reviewers are only supposed to overturn decisions if they are 100 per cent confident.
