‘Angry as I’ve ever been’: Legend demands AFL changes as radio host explodes at ‘cheating’
A goal would have put Adelaide in front with less than 90 seconds to go, but instead they lost the game by a single point and can’t make the finals.Ricciuto, who is the football director on the Crows board, said the mistakes made not just by the goal umpire but also the field umpires who didn’t intervene despite the high stakes were “inexcusable”.
“It didn’t touch the post, it was a goal. For all that night and all yesterday and still now, it’s probably as angry as I’ve ever been in terms of football,” he told Triple M on Monday. “That’s cheating! That is cheating! That is robbed and cheated, that is a clear goal, why did they not go upstairs?!”to Adelaide when Crows chief executive Tim Silvers labelled the decision “the biggest match-day mistake” he had seen in his time in football.
“That’s what the technology has been brought in for, to use in scenarios like that where the umpire’s not sure,” Dawson said.
