Ask yourself this.....when was the last time an umpire was dropped?? Just doesnt happen!!! You will find if mr orr is not umpiring tomorrow it is because of personal reasons. wedding or something like that. the umps can never make a mistake and dont even think about suggesting otherwise. everyone is giving the powers that be way too much credit to think they would ever drop a maggot!!

Maccastand to answer your question I believe Shelton has been dropped back to the reserves at least twice this season. Remarkably, he has been dropped both times after umpiring a game featuring Swan Districts.

For the record I was told that umpire Orr was the emergency umpire for the AFL game last Saturday night at Subiaco Oval. It was one of his better performances on Saturday night.

Maccastand was the umpiring bad on the weekend? Didnt think they did too bad in the conditions.

Kaos, I believe these days it is an automatic week off for red cards for the two young swans players from the last A Grade weekend. Will try and check for you.

Good to see the ducks scrape the points, conditions suited Peel's midfielders and I wouldnt be concerned with only beating Peel by 11. On days like those you take what you can get (4points). The condition of the ground took me back to most of my winters where most grounds resembled a mud patch for two months.
