Yeah, 100%, and he can try it, but then Dimma can't sook it up and pull out the violin of he gets rubbed out. Live by the sword and all thatBeen going on for years, he's just not very good at it.
Yeah, this is 100% true, especially with the goal line stuff, you've usually got multiple bodies and they're the big blokes in packs or flying at itWas listening to ABC Grandstand yesterday and they were discussing players use the field umpire to gain separation from their opponent, which I suppose is the reason why the AFL is now starting to clamp down on it if umpire contact is increasing. And yeah umpires are almost always a slighter build and usually aren't bracing for contact.
I'm a goal umpire and sometimes get minor contact from players particularly during set shots when a goal-line touch is happening and I'm trying to get to the right spot to adjudicate. I once got completely blindsided and bowled over which wasn't much fun as a 60 year old!
