Shaun Ryan has retired from umpiring. Shan has umpired the past 5 Grand Finals, 215 games and 25 finals. He will be a great loss to the umpiring ranks. On another note, the umpiring list is losing a lot of talent with the retirements of Michael Vozzo, Hayden Kennedy and Shaun Ryan. The AFL...

We saw a few examples of this in the match tonight. What are people's opinion on this? Do people think that there is any way to help in the line ball decision in the goals and on the boundary line?

I having been wondering are BigFooty posters left wingers or rights wingers and which parties do they prefer?

Amazing bouncer, commentators said that Jeff G has suggested he not bounce it so high, as ruckman have to wait for it! As well as being a good umpire.
