players out what is going on down there at Uni they are just doing enough but they find themselves around the mark now
was at the modbury game at the weekend the hawks again playing soem very exciting football, also seen the incident where Vassal
has been reported and all i can say is WHAT A JOKE the softest send off i have ever seen and the umpire should be going to the tribunal
for a terrible decsion
The umpires the officiated the Modbury v SHOC games were Curtis Deboy and Adrian Drosd. If there are officilas who read this or any other post I want you to take note. Firstly congratulations for appointing DeBoy-this young kid did himself and the selection committee proud, he kept up with the play, was concise and precise with his decision making and even over ruled a more senior (in age not experience) umpire in Adrian Drosd. Unfortunately for Adrian he lacked positioning badly and made numerous decisions from 20 metres away. This is the second time time I have praised the young umpires as the 2 kids who did the D2 reserves game Modbury v Athelstone also did a great job. Before any one says anything, I am not an officiado on umpiring, I do however have a fair grasp on how the game is played and fully appreciate everyones job on the playing field.
Roll on the young kids who put their hand up to umpire; keep up the good work and well done for the Umpiring board for promoting and rewarding their good efforts. A huge boo to those officials who may think they are bigger than the game-it does not work
