  1. What a great win. But strangely, I have been more nervous watching this year. 
    We did many things brilliantly but there is one obvious area where we need to improve, and it’s not hard to do so...
    We drop too many marks. Last night the regular offenders were Gawn, Lever, Jackson, Weideman (and probably others). Big guys who get their hands on the ball and don’t hold on. Our new boy, Petty, showed them how to do it. Well done Harry.

  2. Maybe the insufficient attempt (OOB) rule should be judged by boundary umpires? They are always on the boundary side of play so may have a better view. As well as less to think about.

    Or if not, maybe they should be consulted by field umpires before the decision is made?

    Something has to improve.

    (btw, my auto correct changed by mistyped “umpires”  to “impures”.  Says it all, really.)

    To make it easier for umpires, players and supporters, I would change the rule so that a free kick is paid if a player has had a prior opportunity and does not correctly dispose of the ball in a legal manner when legally tackled. If the ball is knocked out in the tackle or dropped or misses the foot when it is dropped, so be it. Free kick to the tackler. The only subjective parts of the rule should be (1) whether the player has had prior opportunity and (2) how long the player with

    this is the rule now, isn’t it?
