and here i was thinking most commentaters are spinless when it comes to criticism of any thing the afl does /changes.Umpiring standards havn't really dropped much.
The problem is the commentators complain more than ever.
When you here Dwayne Russell going "That was a free........Surely.....C'mon umpire" gives the viewers the greater impression that the umpiring is worse and it creates the feeling that games are unwatchable as you view the umpiring as deplorable.
I fully believe that people will view the game in a greater light if we don't have to hear commentators bring up what's wrong with the umpiring every game.
