The AFL has conceded umpires should have called for a review to correct what Geelong coach Chris Scott branded a "howler" that robbed his side of a goal in their narrow four-point defeat to Carlton.
But the league, which tweaked the AFL Review Centre (ARC) process in April, won't make any further changes on the back of Friday night's blatant error.
Cats wingman Ollie Dempsey should have been awarded the first goal in the opening minute at the MCG, with replays clearly showing he shinned the ball through on the goal line.
Goal umpire David Rodan was accidentally knocked over by Carlton's Blake Acres at the time and got up to signal a rushed behind.
The ball was quickly brought back into play by the Blues without a score review being called.
