Swann addresses ARC errors after weekend of controversy
SEN • April 27th, 2026 5:34 pm

After a round of football headlined by a calamity of errors, AFL EGM Greg Swann has addressed matters surrounding the ARC in a public press conference on Monday afternoon.
A number of inconsistencies took place with the ARC, with a Rowan Marshall mark called back after over 30 seconds of play, while Griffin Logue's touched football was ruled insufficient evidence by the ARC, rewarding the Giants with a goal in a crucial clash.
Swann addressed both of those matters, announcing that the ARC will no longer have the ability to stop the play once the ball is in motion.
"The ARC will no longer call the ball back once the game has restarted, Greg Swann confirms," SEN's Tom Morris stated.
He also admitted that the Logue incident has been reviewed, conceding that the ARC's decision was incorrect, and the goal should not have been rewarded to the Giants.
"Greg Swann says the ARC will no longer be able to call back score reviews like the St Kilda and West Coast incident unless the goal umpire calls for it. He said it took 'way too long'," AFL.com.au's Cal Twomey stated.
"Also said the North Melbourne ARC decision has been reviewed and was incorrect yesterday."
More to come.
