Welcome to the AFL using 1970s resolution .

And these outdated cameras decided our EF last year  .

Gill has been the worst AFL Boss in the history of the game IMO. It is a total shambles and getting worse by the week. Not holding my breath things will improve next year either.

All cameras should be high res, as it is in soccer

Tuned in at 3QT and the umps have made a sure thing of this seriously.

F them

The dangerous tackle call

 

Absolute joke. Ensured a Port win

[Knighter]

stuff Gilligan and the incompetent umpires. Worst year of umpiring ever

[MintOnLamb]

We were holding port players all day according to umps, they were holding us too but no free kicks, total bs

[one-eyed]

One of the most annoying rules when umpires have no feel for the game. This is not holding the ball, he trips over.

Yes he does, though that could be disputed but please roll the rest of the tape 

If it was the other way we'd be screaming for a free. Granted we wouldn't have got it but we'd be screaming for it.

Poor example of the shocking umpiring in the last qtr.

Get vision of the so called dangerous tackle, now that's a shocker

He doesn’t trip over, he was tripped by Rioli who clearly grabs his foot. Grimes makes enough mistakes these days, we don’t have to add to that with ones which should be free kicks our way.

Dan Richardson, who is head of umpiring, gave the umps a grade of 7-8 out of 10 this year.

7-8 out of ten?

I'd give them a 5 and that's only because they have to deal with the most ridiculous rules and because they appear to getv told to focus on a rule of the week

No wonder there's no consistency

I used to measure the umpires/umpiring by how much you noticed them during a game.  If you hardly noticed them they'd done a good job.  Nowadays they are far too noticeable & have far too much influence on the  games.

Not always their fault as you say, the rules are far too complicated, there are too many of them (4 different umpires = 4 different interpretations) etc etc.

Simplify the  rules/interpretations, return to 3 umpires & watch the game flourish again.
