    Are the umpires told to be sympathetic to a player who has been called as playing on after taking a mark, and is then tackled from behind, as he perhaps hasn't heard the call, or if the mark isn't paid due to it being touched ?

  2. Dropping the ball.

    Every match that I attend, I hear spectators call "Dropping the Ball", from my reading of the rule book, this is not mentioned, I would appreciate your interpretation of this call.

  3. Couple of practice match results..

    Season 2004
    Went and saw Sandy vs Werribee.. Werribee won very easily. I dont really know Sandy's side all that well, so couldnt tell you how strong a side they fielded... The Tigers had quite a few Bulldogs players in the side. Mitch Hahn and Cameron Faulkner both performed well.. Werribee won (as near as I can tell) 12.6 to 3.4 Hahn kicked 4 or 5, and Faulkner 3. Michael Turner and a bloke in jumper no. 41 on Werribees list looked good. The Port and Willy game was mostly a Roos v Pies practice match, with Port winning 12.5 to 6.10. Hamish McIntosh and Kris Shore both looking good.

  4. Umps.

    Great addition to the site onslaught, top job. Well, if anyone has anything to say about umpires/umpiring, or has questions relating to umpiring, ask here! I may not be able to help on everything, but discussions like this help to make the realtionship between players and umpires better, in all grades of football. Regards,

    Would it be a good idea to have some sort of page related to the umpires? If yes, I can help organise it. Regards, :idea:
