UPGRADED cameras and the addition of 'Extreme Super Slow Motion' cameras at every ground will be a feature of the new AFL Review Centre (ARC) that will be trialled this September.
There will be a minimum of three 'Super Slow Motion' cameras, including a minimum of one 'Extreme Super Slow Motion' camera, at every stadium set to host a finals match over the next month.
It will enable score reviews the most clear and precise means of correcting or confirming contentious on-field decisions throughout the finals period.
The advanced cameras are part of a multi-faceted ARC process set to be used this September, which will also involve club doctors, the umpiring department and Match Review members to trial potential enhancements for football operations.
The other significant difference from the current score review process, used throughout the home and away season, will be a direct line of communication from the ARC through to both the broadcaster and the stadium explaining the rationale behind each decision.
Previously, fans had only heard score reviewers confirm their decisions via the broadcaster or seen the decision displayed on the scoreboard at stadiums.
The ARC will feature 10 people at a time, including two supervisors, working across three different pods throughout the finals series.
The score review pod will feature two members, the 'Hawkeye' operator and the official score reviewer, who will communicate their decision to the main supervisor.
The Match Review and medical pod will feature three people, including an operator and Match Review Officer Michael Christian. He will investigate incidents as they happen in order to speed up the Match Review process.
That particular pod will also involve a doctor, who will be in charge of spotting potential concussive symptoms from players and will have a direct line of communication to the benches of both teams.
The final pod will feature an operator and two members of the umpiring department, who will be in charge of coding, tagging and reviewing decisions for future training. That particular pod will have no impact on the games in which they are reviewing.
The ARC has already enjoyed a successful trial throughout select games in round 23.
