Was that the goal umpire hit with a bag of sand incident?[/quote]
That was the one I was referring to, yes.
My old man still shakes his when this incident gets mentioned

Round 14 July 20 1968
Gl 1.1 6.9 8.10 13.12 (90)
ST 4.6 5.7 12.10 13.13 (91)
Bay players were stunned when the goal umpire said he did not see the ball because he had been hit on the head by a paper bag full of sand as Glenelg Ruckman Doug Long goaled in the second quarter.
The ball was bounced on the kick off line with no score awarded.
The loss summed up a year that could have been for the Bays .
Neil Kerley would be reported in the loss to Central District and be suspended for two games. The Tigers would only win 2 of the last 6 games and finish in 5th place 1 game and .79% out of 4th place.
Prior to Round 14 Glenelg were sitting in third place one game & 7 % behind Port Adelaide and one game in front of 4th place North Adelaide
and 3 games in front West Adelaide, West Torrens & South Adelaide
