Ok. I only saw bits and pieces and then watched the last 8 mins. Every time I tuned in there was a horrible decision that went against the Bombers.

Umpiring at the moment is absolutely disgraceful across the board.

So many facets of our game improve every year - umpiring has gone backwards IMO.
But the AFL continually spin it they're doing a good job.
The minute we gave them microphones & numbers on their back was the minute they're self importance skyrocketed.
Once they again realise we're here to see the players and not you, the better the game will be.

I still think its ridiculous that field umpires arent fully professional.
If we expect them to make the best decisions they can, and we do, the AFL should give them all day every day to get better at it

None of them want to be full time.
Many are well paid professionals away from the AFL.

The trouble is that the AFL have NFI what the viewers actually want.
Viewers dont want to notice the umpires but the AFL mike them up, put numbers on the back and get them to perform all sorts of theatrics to focus attention on them. Its sickening to watch !
Viewers dont need to hear the umpires explanation, its easy to determine what the free is for from their signals.
Players and viewers are sick of seeing players 1st to the ball pinged for HTB when theyve had NO prior opp and are told they made no genuine attempt despite the ball being held to them with 3 blokes on top of them.
Deliberate out of bounds interpretation is the biggest farce brought upon the game.
The other mystifying interpretation is the Blocking decisions, especially in ruck contests. Enough said, No one knows what the umps are thinking even after they try to explain it
