Adelaide Crows coach Matthew Nicks says his club will trust in “the process” after appearing to lose their match with Sydney after a possible umpire error.
The AFL could be facing its “worst nightmare” after an unreviewed error by a goal umpire in the final minutes of the Sydney and Adelaide game could influence the final positions in the top eight.
Replays shown after the game appear to show that the ball did not hit the post or the padding of the goal post, which commentators thought was possible at the time of the decision. “My understanding is that we [umpires] review those moments, especially at the end of games,” Nicks said.The Swans win had major implications for the finals race as the loss ends Adelaide’s slim finals hopes and takes the Swans to 50 points and a likely spot in the finals - they still need to beat Melbourne in the final round to be sure of a place.
