Watching replays the non calls make me sick. Can’t be good when supporters go home feeling cheated, turns me right off the game. AFL should work on improving standard and clarity of umpiring instead of tweaking the rules. This will have the biggest positive impact
If they don't like the booing, they need to get their heads out of their arses when it comes to the umps
No one knows whats going to happen contest to contest.
Simplify the rules, let the physicality play out, take the interpretation out of it
And make the umps full time ffs. Pay them whatever it costs. its a billion dollar game, if you cant get the best of these guys to give up their FT jobs because of $$$, you are an amateur outfit.
Essendon could have won, even with the umps officiating the way they did. But we didn't because we torched the ball.

We can control one of those things.
All in all, it was a good game for us despite the loss. we were to be tested against one of the best teams in the comp
4 points off the mark isnt bad. Thats one kick going through the middle sticks instead of the wider ones.
I'll take that given what we put out earlier in the season
