Afl Umpire On The Run
Picture this: an AFL umpire sprinting across the field, not to make a call, but to escape the wrath of a disgruntled fan armed with a half-eaten meat pie. It’s not every day you see the person in charge of enforcing the rules turn into the star of their own action movie. But when the crowd gets rowdy, even the most stoic umpire might find themselves in a footrace they didn’t train for. After all, dodging flying pies and angry shouts is not covered in the official AFL umpire handbook.
Why is the umpire on the run, you ask? Maybe they made a controversial call, or perhaps they accidentally tripped over their own whistle. Whatever the reason, it’s a sight to behold—stripes flying, whistle dangling, and a look of sheer panic on their face. Here’s a quick list of things an AFL umpire might be thinking mid-sprint:
- “Why did I skip cardio this week?”
- “Is this what they meant by ‘player safety’?”
- “I should’ve stuck to umpiring lawn bowls.”
One thing’s for sure: when the umpire’s on the run, the game just got a whole lot more entertaining.
