First of all I am disappointed that Hooper doesn't get the middle for this Final but he has done very well to be appointed as 4th Official.

I shall now be very careful in what I write. My opinion is that Coote does not receive this appointment because of refereeing excellence. The powers that be clearly wish to reward him with appointments which, to my way of thinking, are beyond what his on field performances seem to warrant. Why that should be is matter of conjecture and speculation about which I have an opinion though I will keep it strictly to myself.
