Maybe we should challenge the Dawson one due to the 97.5 carry over points? If he gets a week then so be it, it's only Brisbane so he gets a rest and doesn't have the carry over points.
Wouldn't like to go into finals with 97.5 points over his head.
Consider Brisbane may only be coming over with the likes of Martin, Close and Paparone (J.Brown concussed) we could afford to run with Silvangi and Kepler as key backs.

What grounds would they argue to get Zac off completely?

Insufficient force?

I can't see how falling into someone's back is enough force. It should have been a free kick but it doesn't mean you then get reported since the umpires missed it.

If the Barlow one was contact with about 4:20 left in the second qtr, that's a joke. He was locked in with the Richmond player at the centre bounce and it certainly wasn't reckless.

I saw umpires being knocked down on numerous occasions over the weekend (inc the Ballas incident) and Mick is the only one fined??? Turn it up.

It's prima donna nonsense. You wouldn't dare implement such a rule in amateurs let alone juniors, you'd get your head ripped off quicker than you can say 'you're on report'.

Umpires get out of position and into the way of players unnecessarily, and they must take responsibility for their own actions. Absolutely no need to penalise players who are affected by their mistakes.

We were discussing this at the Collingwood game yesterday. You know the umpires are doing it wrong when not only do you recognise them as they run onto the ground, but you know their name, their number, and they have a public nickname

Giving them a microphone was a mistake.

Not a bad tought, but also a bit of a risk to play without any of our three first choice key defenders...
