First chance I’ve had to sit and watch a Friday game for ages. Haven’t seen much of the Bulldogs recently but I notice they are still allowed to throw a lot. They’re too good for the Blues but the umps definitely give them a good ride.

Are people really getting their knickers in a knot on twitter because Adam Cooney said something not stupid for a change, that Jack Silvagni has no x-factor?

What a terrible social media platform. No justified critiques allowed!

FMD, was BT actually interviewing the umpires post match?

(I watch with the sound off)
Yes, and it was eye opening.

Only the field umpires do Brownlow voting. No wonder it is how it is. Not bothering to consult the goal and boundary umpires about how they seen the game? What a joke.

It has always been only the field umpires that vote on the Brownlow.

The Brownlow is overrated.

Farking hell.

No wonder it is so geared to certain players.

With boundary and goalies having input, Priddis doesn't win one, I'm sure of it.

Boundary umpires, lol.

Half of them look like they're 14 and I suspect most of them are only there because they are someones son or nephew or whatever.

All of that preening they do when the camera is on them, the excessive amount of time they take to throw the ball in. Biggest waste of space prima donnas in the game.
