Quote from: Wazza on May 05, 2024, 10:00:34 PMConsidering the AFL is a multi million if not billion dollar industry, we still have under paid and to be fair poor quality umpires. Along with the shocking score review system in place, surely the AFL should be spending more money in this area. Some of the decisions we have seen across the league this year have been shocking, from balls out of bounds, score reviews that aren't required and of course the obvious missed calls that all can see. These missed calls can turn a game, and especially when there is betting agencies involved, this continued ignorance should not continue as it is more than just a game these days. Train the umps correctly, pay them more and penalise poor mistakes and missed calls so that they learn not to make them again.Sorry for the rant...I didn't expect to actually write this much. I just get sick of having things not paid to us that the other teams get in the same game. We dont lose games due to these calls but it can definitely change a specific play.Anyways....there's always next week Meanwhile the AFL is floating the idea of premiership/grand final rings which wouldn't be cheap

Think of something original!!!Can you really see see Dusty and co. walking the streets with a rings on???

Might as well just make Fatchison CEO of the AFL - he wants to seppo-ise the stuff out of the game....

Laura Kane came preparedhttps://twitter.com/thefrontbar7/status/1788164650816995688I get the Front Bar is mostly a comedy show and I'll confess I rarely watch it as I find Malloy not funny and an embarrassment when it comes to Richmond But last night they had a chance to put her on the spot and ask her opinion on some of the frees from last week No, they couldn't do that Malloy had to come with the above to get a few laughs Doesn't and didn't help the Tigers cause, making a joke about it lets them of the hook.

Absolute garbage. It is a comedy show not AFL360. Mick put her under pressure and did exactly what was required. The big wigs at the CFL are now on notice,At least Mick isn’t an AFL sycophant or apologist like Wankley and Caro
She would never give him a straight answer whether he's being funny or tough.This weekend we will be +1 or +2 for frees IMO. Watch this space.
