Newly minted Channel 7 Chief Footy Reporter Mitch Cleary says that the future of the centre bounce is uncertain.
MITCH CLEARY ON THE CENTRE BOUNCE:
“I think it will be a talking point over summer whether they keep the bounce,” Mitch said on the Rush Hour.
“A lot of umpires are against it because they feel it puts a lot of pressure on them.”

Cleary said that Ray Chamberlain was a high profile umpire who has had bouncing issues.
“Razor Ray’s had his difficulties with it,” he said.
“It’s a big part of why he has been overlooked for some games previously, with his ability with his shoulder to be able to bounce the ball.”
MORE FROM MITCH CLEARY:
Mitch outlined some potential changes that could be looked at.
“Does it stay full time, is it just for the first part of the game?” he asked.
“That will be a talking point.”

Mitch also discussed Jack Ginnivan’s night at the Moonee Valley races, his new role with Tom Browne leaving Channel 7, a full and comprehensive trade up and more.
