I only saw the incident once on a news program the next day and, amazingly, the 2005 Highlights DVD doesn't include the incident.
    How could you forget? I refer to it in nearly every discussion I have with WCE supporters as "The Stenglein Decision" as an example of appallingly bad umpiring. (The ump was dropped from the the rest of the finals).

    A free that has never been paid before or paid since.

    At that game SS were 14 or 15 points in front in the last quarter. LRT had a brain fade and short-chipped one to Hunter who goaled and then the "Stenglein" decision. The whole momentum of the game changed to WCE's favour. More annoying Adam Goodes was tripped by Wirrpanda in the last few minutes while running to goal. An obvious free - but no way would it get paid in front of the howling parochial mob at Subi.
