I'm afraid even Shane Harris doesn't agree with you there Grahaml. This from an email I received yesterday, in response to one I sent earlier in the week:

Shane Harris wrote:With respect to the Norwood v Sturt match yes I agree. Unfortunately one of my umpires was inconsistent with the other two in that he was to technical throughout the match. A part of out team rules is that we only need to pay the obvious frees, and in that match we had 8 technical frees and two 25m penalties paid that were out of context with our umpiring. A little disappointing as the coach, but similar to players who don’t perform well he was dropped for that performance.


According to this evaluation from Mr Harris they went well over Grahaml's quota in a single match.

Grahaml wrote:Just like people who say footy was more exciting or skilful in the 70s. I've seen footy in the 70s on replay. Exciting and skilful it aint. Just kick to kick up the wing.


OK this is not exactly the the 70s, but from 1983. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viW3YW-IkqE
Exciting and skillfull don't you think?


Your just confirming my original post.......apart from one individual who has been dropped......but not until another ordinary performance at Alberton.

Just to advise that, in tomorrow's Independent Weekly (and http://www.indaily.com.au) and Sportsbeat, an extensive interview with SANFL Umpires Director, Shane Harris is our feature article. Many areas are examined of the season so far, as well as looking at other issues surrounding our men in white.
