Anyway, everyone is wondering why umpires award the votes.
I've been wondering why the AFL CEO is reading out the votes since Andrew Demetriou was around.
I'm not an footy umpire, but I use to referee soccer. Refereeing requires paying attention to so many aspects of the play. But the identity of the players involved in the play is well down on the list of things I'm paying attention to and almost incidental (other than which team they belong)...
Ch 7 replayed an incident where he copped a knee to the back of his neck from George in a marking contest. But he came back on after that. Hope he's okay.
I'm with your wife on this one. You shouldn't be watching a football match from some obscure league on the other side of the world on your anniversary.
