We've had actual audio evidence of umpires (from their mic feed which they didn't know was being played on a radio station), where the umpire's boss in the stands was congratulating the field umpires after paying a bogus free kick against Ballantyne, "just as we had talked about before the game".  They literally went into a game ... a preliminary final no less ... with instructions to pay free kicks against Fremantle.  And were then rewarded with all 3 getting the GF the next week.   So excuse us if we believe the outcomes of games can be manipulated through umpires.
