Hawks get so many goals from umpires, happened against the eagles as well and all they did was still complain.
Dockers carry far too many unskilled players, the disposal is horrible. Fyfe, Walters, Hill a class above the rest.
Pavlich looks slow, not even slightly intimidating, no chemistry with the forwards.
Ballantyne has tried hard, was a bs free kick against him, needs to keep going
Sam Mitchell is the best player on the field, bloke can almost do it all.

Triple M have got the audio of the 3rd umpire talking to the field umpires, and I'm not sure if they're meant to have it. Have Ch 7 got it?
The 3rd is basically telling them that they're doing a great job, and also telling them some stuff off the ball.
It's a bit interesting as something different
MMM have exclusive to the umpire mics for the radio. 7 I think would have access to the same stuff.

If anyone has one of those sportsears umpire radio you can hear the exact same thing. Times I've gone I've heard the same voice giving the umps encouragement.

Two comments up until half time -

Firstly, the umpiring makes the goddam WWF look like legitimate sporting organisation. Jeff Kennett giving no ****s after his boy toy Abbott was kicked out?

Secondly, Bruce should be banned from commentating football for life. Legit has no idea, and I have no idea how he has coasted along for this long when he clearly has signs of dementia, but his 'performance' tonight is like a press Red for Ed shitshow. Please hire Gerard Whately next year, or bring back Anthony Hudson. Literally anyone else but this twat.

Ballantyne pushing the boundaries form the outset, no doubt warned numerous times and eventually gets pinged. Cry me a river and tell him to not be such a knob and maybe this wouldn't happen??
As Eddie said, if you pay a free kick for being stupid/pushing the boundaries without breaking them, you'd pay 100 free kicks a game. Ridiculous. Don't know how you can defend that one tbh.

You can buy your own earpieces and listen to the umpires ??
