If you don't mind, umpire: the most contentious umpiring decisions of AFL Round 8 Eagle Adam Selwood won a free kick for high contact against Kangaroo Leigh Adams in the dying stages of the match against North Melbourne. See the AFL's responses to some of the most contentious Round 8 decisions below. HERE'S a theory. Use the video review if there is a scramble in the goalsquare and it isn't clear who got final boot to ball. The TV cameras we have now can help get an answer in that situation (usually). If it's a question of whether the ball crossed the goal-line, don't bother. The latest farce unfolded on Saturday when Lions captain Jonathan Brown marked the ball in the first row of Etihad Stadium. Despite the goal umpire moving to signal a point, the field umpire called a snap conference and went upstairs only for the video ump to return the finding "video inconclusive ... umpire's call." Just in case the situation wasn't ridiculous enough, the field umpire then ignored the goal ump and took the word of the boundary umpire - awarding Brown the mark which he duly converted at a crucial stage early in the final quarter. AFL SAYS: Umpires boss Jeff Gieschen said today the boundary umpire was in "perfect position." If it comes back inconclusive we go with the umpire that had the clearest view and is the most certain about that decision. In this case the boundary umpire, he was very certain it had been marked, and so the mark stood. SOCIAL media exploded on Friday night and it wasn't because of Nic Naitanui's incredible mark and post-siren goal. The kick that led to that moment was the result of a free kick for a high tackle to Adam Selwood, sparking outrage about the allegedly favourable treatment given to the Bendigo brothers - Adam and Joel have won more frees for high contact since 2009 than any other players - and the tactics of shrugging the shoulders to encourage high contact or buckling at the knees to draw a push in the back - something Luke Shuey may have been guilty of moments earlier. In a SuperFooty poll, 3026 (57 per cent) said the umpire should have waved play-on and 2294 (43 per cent) said he deserved a free. Former AFL field umpire Derek Humphery-Smith wants a review of the rule to treat those acts the same way as ducking into a tackle. AFL SAYS: Gieschen said the timing of the call made it controversial, but he was happy with the free kick. "We can clearly see some high contact from shoulder and upper bicep that makes contact with Selwood's face and upper neck area," he said. It probably sums up the shonky goal review system as a whole - finally we have a (seemingly) conclusive replay and the umps opt not to head upstairs. When Lachie Henderson juggled a mark in the second quarter against Port Adelaide, the goal umpire immediately signalled it had hit the post. Replays showed Henderson got his hands behind the ball and he gobbled the mark before it completely crossed the line, costing the Blues a certain goal. Watch the incident below COLLINGWOOD fans reckon they got a raw deal against the Cats - particularly in the third quarter - but they might have been a tad fortunate when Andy Krakouer won a free kick in the final term. After (just) tapping the ball back in play when it very nearly crossed the line for a behind, Krakouer was brought down by Harry Taylor. It looked a legitimate tackle, but the Pies goalsneak was handed a free. Adding to the Cats" frustration, Krakouer then picked up the ball from slightly ahead of where the mark was and ran into an open goal, with Taylor and Andrew Mackie still arguing with the umpire and commentators questioning whether that was a legal ploy. Chris Scott's reaction in the box said it all. The Cats ended up winning the free kick count 22-12. AFL SAYS: Gieschen described Krakouer's move as "very clever." That was technically OK. Andrew Krakouer celebrates his goal with Collingwood fans. They were timid hits, but Hamish Hartlett's double-punch to the chest of Marc Murphy sent the Blues skipper down like a sack of spuds. He milked it well and now the Port playmaker faces a nervous wait. Will he cop a week for stupidity or does the insufficient force allow him to escape? A nervous wait for the Power and thousands of SuperCoach players. Watch the video below and you be the judge. THE footy world waits in anticipation at how the MRP views Darren Jolly's bump on Mathew Stokes. He planted himself to the ground and braced for contact.
