AFL: Tigers star Shai Bolton has reportedly requested a trade back home to Western Australia, despite 4-years remaining on his current deal.
The AFL is a major step closer to using microchipped balls to help aid “ real time ” scoring decision s, with confirmation the smart ball technology will be introduced into the AFLW this season.
While there was no suggestion that the technology would be adopted in the AFL, Kane said innovation was a “key strategic pillar” of the league and this move was an “exciting step in the development of ball technology to support our game”. “This will be a fantastic addition to NAB AFLW and provide a level of accuracy that we have not previously been able to facilitate.
Sensors embedded in the balls assist with tracking and motion that determine the ball’s exact position on the field, distance travelled, speed, spin rates and flight or hang time.The system will work in a “covert manner”, similar to how silent reviews occur in the AFL, whereby if the ball crosses the goal line, hits the post or is touched in flight there will be score assist officials operating at each game who will receive a real-time alert indicating what has happened.
