I have a hero named Leigh Mathews who sometimes needs to be reminded of marks etc, trying to make the grab that Sicily took, that was punched clean out of his hands by a Kangaroo, when Sicily had TOTAL control of the ball!
It was a real mark.
Where as the mark by Brown in the first quarter that Leigh made his comment on about, after Sicily MARKED and BT had bulldusted on about it. Browns was not a mark .
He fell from sky high, only just holding onto it with no control , and it freely bounced out of his hands. That was not a mark Leigh!

Now that lady umpire may just have been saying , "well mate you actually have to catch the thing these days" ! Yes????

Too many dodgy and touched marks being paid and thrown around these days , there is no half measure in control, there is only you've caught the bloody thing, or you've dropped it on the ground, if its that ITS NOT A MARK.

Last night one of Kennedys (WCE) marks was touched by about 2 opponents before it was called a mark, he goaled , what is touched??
I saw it called this week and I haven't seen a touched ball IN PACK MARKING CALLED for ages , only its touched off the boot, called by an umpire. .

Skill going downward folks.

And its time our game started calling what is real and what isn't, and what is too fast too quick to adjudicate
"oh I'll call it a mark" no you won't if , ITS NOT!

Sound pedantic , LOOK AT THE BLOODY RULES THAT COST GAMES AND SCORES NOW!

So congratulations to the lady umpire, plenty of guts to call a dropped ball! So many chickens in the male fraternity of umpiring , the ones who won't call anything inside a teams 50 m arc?

Josh Kelly apparently now refusing to take Brad Scott's phone calls. Wants Nathan Buckley's number.
"was leaving an expansion team and 3 premierships to play for collingwood worth it mate. Not sure ill catch you down at the lexus center"
 
Yes. Umps have been crap for years. Just injecting a greater level of crapness.
Nothing to do with her gender. Yelling her send her to the womans league. You can call her shithouse without that shit. Females are just as capable of being bog average umpires as the male counetrparts
