VIDEO: Here's Gieschen talking with Schwarz about the umpiring from the weekend games...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/136596/default.aspx#embedvideoplayer

He discussed two frees from our game:

(i) Watson's copping high contact from Dea in the 2nd quarter - Giesch said Watson had no time to duck and had his head down over the ball so a clear free kick.

(ii) Maric's holding the ball and 50m - Giesch said Maric went to ground over the ball so it was then his duty to get the ball out; not the Essendon player.

So he's got to wrestle the ball back off the Essendon player who now has it and then dispose of it before the umpire decides to blow his whistle.
Rather than get to his feet with both hands in the air as he did to prove he didn't have the ball.

Luke Darcy who I think is on the rules committee said during the call of the game that regarding the Maric free to the letter of the law the correct decision (that is how the law is written and how it is to be umpired in 2012) was made but he went onto to say that currently the rule isn't in the spirit of the game and it needs to be changed

Would suggest Luke that if you are still on the rules committee then you do something about it
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

darcy girl isn't on the committee any more

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."

pretty simple really.

If your mother and father are brother and sister, then they are also your uncle and aunty.

Thanks, you have to remember I'm nearly 60 so a little slow on the uptake.

not shafted, got poo decisions against and poo decisions for.

just absolute crap all round from the umps. combine the performance of these retreads and the stupid rules just makes watching the footy a frustrating experience
