    I don't see any issue with a goal umpire in the right position making a correct call for themselves

    Marcus Adams was in two minds and ended up being a stepladder for McGovern to reach the ball, that's where your ire should be directed
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Adams did the same last week, when Dahl's kick was touched on the line. He just stood there instead of trying to sheppard the ball through.

    But he knows to do the opposite at the other end of the ground. Different breed defenders.a bit like drummers.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Well...if you were to tell him that the ball is shaped like and OVAL and wouldn't necessarily bounce straight if he kicked a mongrel punt, I doubt that would be news to him.

    Whats a RBI proficiency?
    LOL. Supposed to be BTI proficiency.

    Maybe it's a WA thing but players calling boundary for a kick wide to the boundary - and coaches calling it/preaching it - is not new.

    Nah. Us Victorians love playing corridor footy. It's not in our nature to kick the ball toward the boundary.
