AFL Umpires boss Jeff Gieschen says that eight out of the nine deliberate out of bounds decisions last Friday night were correct and that he did not instruct the umpires to change their interpretation.
Missing the point a little bit, Jeff?
Deliberate out of bounds decisions have been a relative rarity in 2012, and then there are nine in one game and there’s not a problem? If these eight correct decisions were all so clear cut, we’re sure we see those same scenarios many times a game and they’re not penalised. So, does that mean the umpires have been making eight glaring mistakes per game?
This is the sort of denialist spin we expect from politicians. It’s the Emperor’s new clothes again. Everyone but the AFL can see that there’s a problem here.
The solution? Release the Giesch!
