AFL LIVE: Chris Scott left fuming after no-goal call, Dockers suddenly charge to life in Perth

Gee, Chris Scott can’t believe it. The temperamental Cats coach has thrown his hands in the air and punched a perspex divider in disbelief.

The reason for his outburst? Ollie Dempsey claimed he had kicked a goal out of midair, but the umpires have called it a touched behind. Let’s hope this decision does not have a bearing on the end result.

Dempsey fell back but threw his boot at the ball during a marking contest at the same time Docker defender Matthew Johnson thrust his arm out to spoil. They almost hit the ball at the same time.

There is no doubt the ball struck Johnson’s forearm, but it then looks to have come off the toe of Dempsey’s pink boot before flying through the goals. On that evidence, it is a goal.

The goal umpire called it touched, and understandably so given the split-second timing, but after a lengthy review, the ARC said there was insufficient evidence to overrule.
