Boundary umpire calling the Wayne Harmes kick out of bounds instead of letting him punch it back into play from Row G in 1979.

Goal umpire calling the A. Rocca goal a goal instead of a behind in 2002.

Thank baby Jesus the umpires back then still had common sense & realised that the ball was falling in the drop zone & that players were able to contest

in the last 60 seconds of the 2023 GF.

No way in that cauldron Bailey could have heard the free kick call to Neale, if he had he would of certainly stopped, from the below the knees to the advantage call would have been no more than just over 1 second.



Anything could have happened if Neale had pumped the ball to the top of the goal square with 30 seconds to the siren.
