Unrelated to the stats, but does anyone else get the feeling that despite being the clear best team this year Swans aren't winning the flag?

I'd imagine the drivers behind 4 umpires are more than just the potential improved range of views.I have been angry ever since Gil and his band of bandits instigated the four umpires.
Far too many chances for error. They get in the way if the play. They hsve too much time without having to make decisions. They go to sleep. It makes it easirr for one umpire to tske charge for long periofds, as happened Friday night. Seemed Nichols was in charge for long periods late in the game.
Stevic, who I consider to be one of the top three umpires, was, or seemed to me, to be seldom seen in the last 15 minutes.
Four umpires is a total failure. It is time the AFL swallowed their pride and admitted they have had it wrong.
Yep. I saw an article saying that they don't have a weakness but I think their key defenders will expose them in the finals. McCartin is an elite interceptor but his concussion history is a huge worry.Unrelated to the stats, but does anyone else get the feeling that despite being the clear best team this year Swans aren't winning the flag?

Shudder, shudder. Frightening.You’ll understand Anchor Man.
Ray Montgomery >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 umpires.
I think it is very clear that after so many years it is a fail, regardless of what the AFL say. Just look at the complaints about their performances this season,and we aren't half way through yet..I'd imagine the drivers behind 4 umpires are more than just the potential improved range of views.
A big part of it would be the running demands on umpires, and I thought they always had an emergency anyways, this way they're just part of the game and they fall back to 3 in the event of an injury right?
There was a lot of talk of increased tactics away from the ball which the 4 umpires allows better coverage of to reduce the chances of.
To judge whether it's a success or failure you'd need to understand the full picture of why it was implemented and what the pluses and minuses are.
I don't really agree with your premise, I don't see materially worse performance overall.I think it is very clear that after so many years it is a fail, regardless of what the AFL say. Just look at the complaints about their performances this season,and we aren't half way through yet..
The idea was that four umpires wold lead to less wrong decisions but all it hss done is add to that and more controversy.

Not a rumour. Kane himself confirmed that quote was accurate.

If we’d have faced them under different circumstances, we’d have beaten them. I think our best is just as good, just need the consistency.Unrelated to the stats, but does anyone else get the feeling that despite being the clear best team this year Swans aren't winning the flag?

I'd be intrested to know the home vs away distance covered differential for all the teams.Ha ha.
But seriously, I paused my tv to find out why the ball come out so easily from our forward 50 against Collingwood and it turned out they had 4 more players than us in our forward 50. What are the odds of getting the ball if it hits the ground under those circumstances.
