Rules and finals reminiscences (split from R9 changes thread)
So when I wrote "I'm sure all of us remember", and provided it as an example of West Coast shepherding the mark, I was a bit ga-ga as I clearly remembered very few of the details (other than it was outrageous and against Leo Barry). Still, it gave me (and maybe others) an opportunity to relive one of the more baffling decisions in the history of Swans games. Still, I wouldn't change a single thing about that wonderful 2005 finals series.
Thanks for hunting out some video footage.
I'm glad we won the flag that year, or that outrageous decision would still haunt me... still makes me go what the eff? every time I see footage of it!
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Leo was either running off the ground or making a lead and WCE Stenglein steps off the mark to bump him.
Worst umpiring decision I've ever seen!
Cost us the match! Would've cost a lesser team the Premiership!
