Note to Dimma:
After Syd Gee game umps are hot on the protected zone again.
Some of those calls were ridiculous.
If only they clarified what you're meant to do if you're stuck on your own near the boundary line and an opponent marks near you automatically putting you within their protected zone with nowhere to go? In the Hawks vs GWS game, a Giants player got pinged 50m for this even though the Hawthorn player was still picking himself off the ground
.
Is it that hard for umps to figure out that if an opposition player is not affecting the play whatsoever then it's not 50?!
