What happens if the vision is inconclusive?

The on-field umpires' call stands. The AFL's score review process says that if the Score Review Official finds the vision conclusive, they determine the correct score, and if the vision is inconclusive, the call of the on-field officials stands.

A 2026 example: in round 7 the Giants were awarded a late goal against North Melbourne at Manuka Oval. The AFL said the review officials judged there was not enough evidence to overturn it, but later replays showed Griffin Logue had touched the ball, and the AFL conceded the goal should not have been awarded.
