Yeah my day weren't to good but a few froffs make everything better! I was on the beers next to the time keepers and didn't even know the score board got changed lol not that it mattered wyndam killed us all day.Now back when ah were a lad...
If the goal umpires couldn't agree on a score when comparing cards, generally the one that matches the scoreboard is most likely to be right. If neither of them match, the higher score is more likely as it is easier to forget to write down a score than to write it down twice. And if you can't be 100% sure, you check with the timekeepers.
So at the end of the second half, the umpires demanded the scoreboard be changed to show Braybrook had kicked four goals for the quarter, and disappeared into the rooms.
The goal umpires are the final arbiters of the score, and we were all glad that the umpires got it right.
Because the Suns timekeeper, the Brookers timekeeper, the scoreboard, and both coaching boxes all had Braybrook scoring three goals and were clearly in the wrong and delusional... including the players who could not recall anybody scoring the mystery goal.
I shall say nothing of the point signalled but not waved, the point waved but not signalled, and the clear goal ruled touched by the umpire standing about a metre behind the line.
Lets hope they were just having a bad day. Everyone else seemed to be enjoying themselves and the froffies flowed over the canteen counter in a most satisfactory manner.
