It was very interesting sitting about 5 rows behind the dog's bench yesterday. There was a great deal of confusion as to who was and wasn't to be coming off. The dog's certainly seemed to make a meal of it with many very frustrated looking players doing some sort of constipated polka type dance on the edge of the boundary fearful that one wrong step would result in a penalty. The little fat man for the dogs whose job was to hand the names of the interchange to the umps looked like he was in the middle of a full on heart attack the whole game.

The Dockers on the other hand seemed to have very little difficulty with it at all.

As far as I can see the only good that will come of this rule change is the plethora of opportunities it gives us to bellow insults at the opposition players caught looking stupid on the boundary wondering why they can't get at that drink bottle that is oh so close.
