Footballs?

[PowerMan]

I was at the port v richmond game today and very quickly noticed the footy was very hard to pick up in general play.

Why can't the umpires use a yellow footy when it's so obvious the conditions require a yellow footy to be used?

Is there a rule saying you have to use a red footy at day games, and yellow at night games?

surely common sense has to prevail in these circumstances!

I hate playing with a red footy even during the day. Yellow is the best IMO.

Certainly and I think they need to use more balls when it's that wet, sure they'll get wrecked but in all seriousness the players are not weightlifters. Surely using a yellow ball isn't going to hurt?

Gee, don't know what that would be like, you mea like those really bright pink ones? gee... The yellow ones are bright enough for my liking.
