AFL boss Gillon McLachlan is comfortable with how the controversial score review system operated during yet another flashpoint.

During Essendon’s six-point win over GWS on Thursday night, replays appeared to show Bomber Shaun McKernan’s goal that levelled scores was touched.

McLachlan on Friday refused to deem the call right or wrong, but backing the system that made decision.

“I’m comfortable with the process that played out,” he told 3AW radio.

“The best people, using the right time, using the right technology and making the decision.

“After that, everyone out there has got different views about whether the decision was right or wrong.

“The view of the AFL will come from the footy department today. I’m not going to comment on whether I think it’s right or wrong.”

GWS coach Leon Cameron refused to blame the controversy for his side’s narrow loss.

But Brisbane Lions legend and Fox Footy commentator Jonathan Brown was gobsmacked the score reviewer didn’t pick up that a finger on GWS’ Adam Kennedy’s left hand was bent back by the ball.

“We picked it up in 10 seconds … that is a critical point in the game and that drew Essendon level,” Brown said on the telecast.

Kennedy immediately ran around waving his hand in the air in a vain attempt to convince umpires he had touched the ball.

While no review was called for from the ground, each goal is looked at by the video reviewer. But play re-started with the goal standing.

The AFL has conceded fans are losing faith in the score review system following a run of glaring errors, saying they’re working on a centralised bunker system for next season that will oversee all matches.

McLachlan said on Thursday night, the measure of the decision was whether the ball was touched beyond reasonable doubt.

“They had to make a decision about was that ball touched beyond reasonable doubt, that is the standard to overturn the decision,” he said.

“They made the decision on the night that it wasn’t touched in their mind beyond reasonable doubt.”
