Umpire Carey takes a mark!

This is proberly one of the most funniest thing to prehaps ever happen in the AFL, Carey achieved lasting notoriety after taking a mark while umpiring a match. In his 299th AFL match between Fremantle and St Kilda at Subiaco Oval in 1999, Fremantle's Adrian Fletcher kicked the ball from the wing towards the centre of the oval directly at Carey. Rather than move out of the way, Carey proceeded to take the mark on his chest, as if he were the intended recipient of the kick. He immediately stopped the game and called for a ball-up – to the general confusion and laughter of the players around him. The AFL summoned Carey for a "please explain" after the incident, but no action was taken against him.
