When was the new rule passed that when a goal umpire says it it was not touched and is a goal and the field umpire says he also didn't see it touched, a boundary umpire is called in to get his opinion. This was clearly heard on the Dunn shot on TV through the umpires mikes. If the field and Goal umpires both believe it was a goal what was the need to call in a boundary umpire, who had to sprint to the goals from around the boundary. Why is this not done on every shot where someone may have touched it?

Someone can correct me but I thought the boundary umpire said he "thought" it was touched. Since when is that used to overrule the man in charge of the decision who was closest and gave his ruling. Should every decision on a footy field now be a consultation between all umpires.

As for the umpires pink shirts, when we also wear pink, nothing less than disgraceful in a professional sport. We should be wringing a favourable position in next year's draw from the AFL as a result. I suggest we don't play at Skilled Stadium for the next 10 years.

We should fine the AFL!

Pink shirts. What a disgrace!!! There a bunch of clowns.

Melbourne always seem to to get the rough end of the stick with the umpires too! Colloingwood and Bulldgs in two close one's. Could have easily gaone our way.

I honestly think umpires have an interest in the result at times! So too the AFL!!!

I also find it refreshing when guys like Dermie, Hudson, Harley, McAvaney come out and say we got the raw end of the deal from the umpires and it could have cost us the game.

I thought you were saying about the New Rule that if a player marks the ball while falling over the boundary line, now it gets thrown in...

Trengove marked in the forward pocket halfway through the final term. It wasn't touched off the boot and what I saw, he took it cleanly with one arm on the line. Under the old rules it could only be one of two decisions, out on the full or a mark. But that boundary ump (the same one who took the goal off Dunn I suspect) threw it in ???????

I noticed that too. Laughable.

I just figured he thought it was out on the full but was doing what he could to even up the ledger.

Clearly a mark.

All facets of the umpiring were woeful last night, I was a boundary ump in my younger years. We were only ever called if the central ump had doubts, and those doubts were only there because it was about to be called the goal.

Regards Darren

P.S. even with 4 boundary they still made errors!

Absolutely! It looked clean on the replay and should have been a mark. If not it was out on the full.

I want to know if it was the same boundary umpire, the one who said Dunn's goal was touched, the one who disallowed Trengove's mark, and this one. Anybody know their names? Maybe a closet Bullgog's sympathiser?

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
