Understatement - the umpiring is ****ed.

So many in-the-backs and highs let go.
With the money in the AFL, I have no idea why there is not a roster with say 32 umps full time on 350k each. They'd get byes some weeks, some weeks 2 games.

They'd have a full time job Mon and Tuesday reviews and learnings, Wed Thurs off Fri-Sun could work 2 days. It'd be a great career path for the guys that didn't quite make AFL and would battle out a SANFL/VFL/ country footy life.

Goal umps and boundary umps are superfluous they can be on their current wage but if we need 4 umps, lets pay them well, lets make them full time and they can get decent money, 350k isn't to be sneezed at and guys could get in early 20s with a decent understanding of footy could do and have a decade or more at top flight.

Something has to change
 
I think Essendon sneak into finals now
They have guaranteed wins against us, St Kilda and the Suns all at Marvel. That gets them to 13.5 wins.
 
We did beat Carlton at marvel remember. Not many games are guaranteed this year.
For some reason, we can beat Carlton (we actually have a winning record against them under Nicks) but we just can't beat Essendon.

We'll make them look like their 2000 team again.
