It is hard to justify Incompetence

Post: # 2070162Post Sainter_Dad »

As a neutral - watching the Hawthorn v Freo game - boundary umpire 5 metres from the drop of the ball - clearly set to watch it land

Camera angle almost over his shoulder - ball clearly Out on the Full - thanks boys - I will throw it in.

I ran the boundary as a teenager for a long time. Maybe for 5 years. It was tricky on some grounds where the lines were thin or if you got caught out by a fast break.

But… these AFL grounds have incredible lighting, full colour etc and to be that close, well it’s hard to believe that someone could make that blatant an era and it also not being picked up by the field ump
