    Stupid rule.
    why do goal unpires wave a flag in the first place?

        So the goal umpire at the other end can mark his scorecard appropriately.

            He should just write him a letter and send it by runner.

                    Use the fourth umpire to run up the other end to tell him...there's no other use out there for another umpire Unless he's out there to be the umpire who gets abused so we leave the ones alone that are officiating in the game

                        Good man yourself Dave!

                        Damn those ads piss me off something shocking. I can hardly believe it. In fact it causes considerable trouble between me and my wife because I go on about too much when the game is on. Jesus it pisses me off!!! Ever heard of a replay? Ads fro bloody pest control are not required at footy o'clock!

                            I was living in Townsville in 1996, whilst I was saddened by our GF loss that year, I was even more annoyed that 7/Prime placed more importance on the ads than they did on the game. You got to see the opening bounce of each quarter, but each bounce after a goal was missed due to them finishing the ad that they had put on as soon as a goal was kicked. At least now you get to see the bounce, but I don't agree with holding up the game for the ads. Surely they could bounce the ball, and show the rest of the game on a slight delay. Then they could catch up with the "live" play during the 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 time breaks.

                                Aside from the play itself, the big concern is for the runners and trainers who used that time to tend to the players in that part of the field - the rule states that we can't be in the 50m arc once a player has kicked the ball, which essentially gave us the flag waving time to get the hell out, but now we're stuffed - if the ball comes back in and we are caught dead in the middle of the 50, it's an automatic bounce.

                                    I imagine the umpires would be in a proper position already if they were doing their job properly before the behind was kicked. If it was OOB then we dont wait for them to get in position as it can be played on.

                                        Can we start a petition to bring back the Goal Umpires Lab Coat and Porno Moustache - they need a bit more character, I mean if the field Umps can wear their loud colours, why cant the goal Umps wear the bright coloured lab coat - and have Barry White music playing as they enter the arena. they need a bit more Oomph!

                                                            and they should have flags matching the colours that they are wearing! ie. Umpires wear yellow, flags should be yellow
