Section 15 subsection 2.3.c of the Laws of Football
« on: July 22, 2012, 08:06:22 PM »
Section 15 subsection 2.3.c of the Laws of Football states as follows ; a Player who takes possession of the football while contesting at a bounce or throw by a field umpire or at a boundary throw in , shall be regarded as having had prior oppotunity except in the instance of a poor bounce or throw.

Umpire 24 failed in his duty as an umpire in failing to apply the above rule and instead he tried to coverup his poor bounce by pinging Tucky resulting in a North Melbourne goal.
This decision altered the result of the match.

It's a stupid rule when the ball lands in a midfielder's hands who hasn't left the ground but Tucky should have been smarter knowing the rule. Tucky is old school - see ball, get ball - and doesn't think too much about what he is doing.

I don't believe some have understood the rule, Tucky did nothing wrong because the bounce was poor he was entitled to take possesion of the ball if you look at the law again you will see the umpire made the mistake not Tucky.

They usually only recall a poor bounce if it skids and doesn't rise high above the players. In Tucky's case the ball still looped up high in the air so he had time to adjust and I've never seen a bounce like that recalled. Hey I don't agree with it being a free but that's how they all umpire it so you have to be aware that's the interpretation.

A poor bounce is one where both ruckmen are unable to contest the bounce, this one was so poor neither ruckmen were able to get anywhere the ball. The correct call should have been "Play on".

gee thats harsh on tucky mt.
perhaps you should read the rule quoted in th OP., besides which, expecting a player to not take possession when the ball lands in his hands is ridiculous. imagine how much poo would be being put on him if he tapped th ball away?

tucky also played a big part in getting us back in striking distance.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."
