Breaking news: Because of this, I refuse to acknowledge that I will accept it.

The AFL has acknowledged that a costly mistake happened during the score review procedure in the AFLW match between Gold Coast and Collingwood this past weekend, when Jamie Stanton, a standout player for the Suns, gave up a critical goal due to new ball-tracking technology.

Gold Coast lost against the Magpies by a slim margin of three points, ultimately costing them their first victory of the year due to the error. The on-field official first called Stanton’s snap in the second quarter of the game as a goal. But this season’s introduction of ball-tracking technology in the AFL led to an inaccurate recording indicating that Collingwood’s Muireann Atkinson had touched the ball.

Based solely on this evidence and after seeing a single replay viewpoint, the Score Assist Official reversed the goal ruling and gave a behind.

Since then, AFL representatives have acknowledged that human error was the cause of the goal’s overturn and acknowledged that not all procedures were followed. The AFL made it plain that more angles that were accessible at the time of the review were not examined until the half, at which point it was evident that the choice to reverse the goal had been made incorrectly. An AFL spokeswoman said in a statement, “Jamie Stanton was awarded a goal during the second quarter by the on-field umpire which was subsequently overturned by the Score Assist Official.”
