Totally agree. The umps have no idea about this rule. To make it easier for their pea brains should just be any kick that is not touched and that does not have a player within 20 metres of it is a free to the opposition. Need to take the thinking out of it cause they have no feel for the game these blokes.

For every deliberate decision, the umpire should have to replicate it in the same circumstances to prove it was deliberate.

If an umpire managed to even get the ball to touch his foot trying to exectute that same manouver, i'd be very impressed. To suggest he had enough skill to deliberately kick it where he wanted to is very much far fetched.

That's paid regularly.  I am ambivalent about the 'insufficient intent to keep the ball in play' rule. 

Player: Sorry, Ump, I didn't mean to push him in the back
Ump: Oh, Ok.  Your free then for holding the ball.
Player: Cheers
