And my argument, and that is what I've argued all along, it puts the umpires in a terrible position because they might look at, remember that guy we spoke about, Powell, for instance?

Yeah.

The umpire might know that he's a prodigious kicker of the footy, but everyone on the Gold Coast team does.

So they think, yeah, he's going to have a shot from 55 and he'll kick it.

The umpire might know that.

So he says, no, you're not getting the 30 seconds.

What's old mate Powell supposed to do?

Pull the phone out of his sock and say, yeah, have a look at these eight shots so far this year.

So I've got sympathy for the umpires on that.

All I'm saying is don't doot, doot, doot me when it gets to the 22 second mark when I know I've got 30.

Have we got his do-do-do?

Have we come out as a do-do-do?

I'm not getting any support for everybody having the same amount of time to kick the ball, no matter where they are on the field.

No, so there's a couple of things at play here.

So the one that I got a little bit fired up about last night was the do-do-do-do.

He gave you the do-do-do-do-do.

Yeah.

When Ray thought that you were... Did he put his hand up at any stage just to sort of quieten you?

No, he didn't say, you need to calm down.

You need to calm down, Gary.
