Umpiring

Clearly a mark. Even the local commentators agreed.

As the commentators sit 100+ metres opposite this action their view would have been ordinary, was there a camera on that boundary, no. I was on that side and right in line with this incident. The boundary ump was over ruled, juggled mark attempt a metre or so over the line.

Just one of those things, but don't always believe those commentators in their box up in the stratosphere.

The commentators agree it was a mark after watching replays.

I'm not to upset about the umpiring, not too sure why we got pinged, but the we got charities later, that's life.

There was a massive booboo in the second quarter when Gehrig was paid a mark on the boundary line. It was juggled clearly over the line by along way, the boundary ump said it was over but the field ump said he knew better.

That is out of bounds. The Field umpire got it wrong. Once the player has marked the ball, he and the ball have to be inside the field of play.

If the player doesn't mark the ball before the ball goes out of play it is out of bounds. Do a check of the rules and prove me wrong but with my experience Juggling a ball over the line is definately not a mark.

I wouldn't take much notice of what the commentators say.
