Rival coaches say the AFL’s use of video review for contentious scoring decisions is worth keeping, even if it provides some unsatisfying results.

Richmond and Melbourne were both denied goals they perhaps deserved during Saturday’s clash at the MCG.

Richmond’s Matt White and Jack Riewoldt were both convinced they scored goals with kicks which were awarded behinds.

Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said he would have liked to have seen those decision at least be reviewed.

Although Hardwick, who has been fined this season for abusing an umpire, admitted the officials faced a hard task.

“It’s a tough ask, but if it’s there let’s just make a call (for a review),” Hardwick said.

“The problem is the players are always going to call for a review, aren’t they, especially Jack.

“They were line-ball (decisions) anyway.”

A kick from Melbourne’s James Magner, which appeared to bounce through a crowded goalsquare without being touched, was reviewed.

But the failure of the replay to prove beyond doubt the ball was not touched meant it was eventually called a behind anyway.

Demons coach Mark Neeld said he was satisfied with the process.

“If you can’t tell, you’re not sure, the lesser score stands,” Neeld said.

Both Hardwick and Neeld said they were happy to stick with the technology because it meant more correct decisions than without it.
