In the context of a tight grand final McBurney's thin skinned over-technical decision against Milburn was probably worth 2-3 goals .The penalty was out of all proportion to the "crime" McBurney didn't think the "abuse" was serious enough to make a report ...yet he prepared to hand the opposition a bonus goal.... and with it possibly the premiership

Geelong was half an inch away from earning Hawkin's 'non goal' - St Kilda didn't even have to run to the centre and back to be handed Schnieder's bonus.

Chances are that the goal umpire will never make his mistake again. What worries me is that - given his ultra technical approach to the game - McBurney just might .

    1. Nowhere in any rule book is there mention of "in a tight grand final don't pay free kicks or 50 meter penalties for abuse to umpires." If you want to have a go at somebody about the penalty for that indiscretion then direct it at the Rules Committee.

    2. Mark Canning (goal umpire in question) will, bar his personal decision to retire, be back on the AFL list next year. He was #2 going into the Prelims and the bloke who was #1 didn't even end up with the emergency gig on GF day. He'll be back next year without a doubt.
