Coming into my second year of seriously following footy and when I’m watching games on TV, I’m frequently unsure if a kick is going to be a goal or a behind, usually when it has some height to it and coming from an angle, until the broadcast, players or umpires indicate a goal/ behind.

My question for the wiser and more experienced AFL community is, is this something you grow out of and get a better sense of the more you watch games or do other people still have issues with the initial assessment?

Pretty awkward when you prematurely celebrate what looks like a goal, only for it to be a behind and I’d love to know if anyone else has this issue 🥲.
