1. Wayne Jackson - the man who administrates as he played - dourly, clumsily and with no real ability.
2. Grand Final Tickets - should be guaranteed to club members of competing clubs who pay a premium at the beginning of the season.
3. Grand Final Entertainment - Killing Heidi? The Whitlams? The only cheers during their performance was when they showed the locker rooms on the scoreboard screen. I have a novel suggestion - how about some footy as a warmup. And then get the 300 or so hangers on off the park before the teams run out. Did we really need 80 redcoats on the ground guarding the pa system?
4. Eddie.
5. The uneven schedule
6. The uneven salary cap
7. The ridiculous TV contract that does not guarantee live footy north of the Murray.
8. The umpires - there they were Saturday, waving to the crowd before the game. They should be put back in all white, their numbers removed and made to wear beanies so we cannot tell one from another. And they shouldn't be paid.
9. Dermot Brereton - will he ever shut up?
10. Robert Walls - just about the most boring "expert" who has ever commented on any sport, anywhere in the world. The absolute master of stating the bleeding obvious, an absolute chinless, humourless, self-important stiff.
ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE FIXED OVERNIGHT.
