Took about 50 snaps, and got about 6 that were any good. Also had four beauties of the back of the head of the guy sitting in front of me, plus two close-ups of my right foot.

I'm a real professional!

I'm not sure if this has been raised, but I can't be bothered wading through all the posts . . . .

Did anyone else notice how bad the umpires were at bouncing the ball?

I know it's only the pre-season, but I can remember at least two Dogs' goals that came directly from bounces that went sideways straight into Darcy's arms.

Aren't the umps able to re-bounce if they really stuff it up?

[ScottH]

Yeah, I remember one distinctly.

There must be some provision for re-bouncing. It has been a controversy for the last few seasons.

Liked the report ,especially the photos. The Umpires seemed to have problems bouncing in all the games I watched on the T.V. and they all went to the left of screen. Maybe there is uneven base or something in the centre of Telstra Dome. My ex used to be an umpire and there was always something wrong with the bouncing pads or the cricket pitches etc etc etc
