I like the idea - kind of adds a sense of occassion to proceedings. (they stole our idea) although we went further and maintained that all players & umps should have tracking devices on so that when there were more than 36 players on the field the ump received an electric shock as an indicator and then he can stop the game and award the penalty (once he has regained consciousness

)

The Nightclub scenario could have ramifications for certain players who are banned from nightclubs.

the same colleague (who assisted in coming up with this idea whilst we were hanging around the scanner) and I are going to the chairmans lunch on Sunday (thanks to the major sponsor - god love em!!!) so we thought it might be an opportunity to put our idea forward to Richie C- there is the chance that we may be assisted from the function area by security because of our innovative presentation, but its a risk we are prepared to take to get our ideas out there to the AFL!

So you're gunna leave ORB to fend off security on his own when somebody with a ticket for his seat tries to move him on.

I don't sit near u at Homebush.

I may come up next time at the SCG, but it's fun teasing u at the moment.

I sit in the next bay to your right, 6 rows down at the end of the aisle. I usually arrive 5 minutes into the reserves (intentions are always to see the first bounce, but with kids dragging the chain

) with my 15yo daughter (#13 on her back), my 15yo spends so much time at our house may as well be my daughter (#32 on her back) and my 9yo grandson.

I've been sitting in the same seats, one row in front of my mate, his wife and grownup daughter for 25 years.

See you in a few weeks.

Maybe they could micro chip there jumpers, a sirens with flashig lights could go off when the 19th player crosses the line!
