Is that he kicked it from exactly the same spot Wayne Harmes knocked the ball back in 81 grand final!

| Don't forget the call to disallow Daisy's goal from the boundary against ST Kilda a few years back. |

Was it out of bounds?
Don't look at his feet, look at the ball.
For it to be out of bounds all of the ball must be over all of the line.
Sure his feet might be beyond the line, but he is leaning to his left and holding the ball above the line while kicking it across his body towards goal.
Also factor in the distortion introduced by the camera angle, and the lack of protest from opposition players. |

Don't forget the fact that the boundary umpire was on his lemonade & sars at the time. The stars were aligned for us and I loved it.
EDIT: just got the paper and of course they have a picture of it. Boundary umpire was on his feet at the time.
Could have sworn I'd seen him hit the turf...

I actually work with the boundary umpire. Can't wait for work tomorrow to tell him what a brilliant decision.

I am comfortably satisfied that the ball was still in play...

BIG difference though, fatman Harmes was buying a hotdog off a kid on the second level. !

He's running straight and his left foot is over the boundary when he makes contact with the footy. Now unless he's gumby, that ball was out.
In saying that, I'd happily swap that out for Wayne Harmes'
