Round 5 - the Other Games

Anyone watch the Carlton/Dogs game? There was shot for goal from a Carlton player that went through the big sticks, waiting behind the goal was Lake who kicked it on the full that ended up in the crowd. It made me remember how McGuane was pinged for his frustrating action and punching the ball. This game also produced a record amount of recalled bounces in the middle. These umpires need to be suspended, not this crap about sending them in the outback to umpire, I say suspend the *smiles* for poor inconsistant umpiring.


Just watched a bit of this match as well GPB and noticed the same in relation to the recall bounce ups......was mistified when the ball ups were called back.

Yep. Seen that myself and thought he'll get pinged for it.

Unbelieveable how the umpires chop and change. Joke of a rule anyway

You saying he got away with it 7?

Yep. Ball went back to middle and bounced to begin play.

Can not believe how one week a rule can be hot and next the umpires total forget about it.
