Clearly, it's totally fanciful that a team only infringes the rules five times in an entire game like yesterday. Or eight times in a grand
final, a game where the intensity and attack on the ball goes through the roof. Over time this stuff (and it's been going on for two
decades now) just adds insult to injury once you add in the myriad of institutional inequalities that exist in the league. But to my
mind even all of these things combined pale when compared to the disgraceful treatment of Adam Goodes over the last three years
of his footy career, and the out-and-out gutlessness of the AFL to stand up for the bloke at the time. The AFL should have just died of
shame over their non response to that issue.

I recall that incident and I remember how the umpire blew the whistle and hesitated to say anthing. Arghhh it a a a kicking in danger! Yes that proves corruption exists in the umpiring ranks. Thanks Roosy for bringing up this constant discrepancy and as Charlie Gardner said " it's not the free kicks they get, it the free kicks we don't get". It's funny how they have Victoria umpires, SA umpires, WA umpires, female umpires but no umpires from the most populated state in Australia called NSW.

Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.
There's absolutely n.o.t.h.i.n.g. we, or the club for that matter, can do about it.
They are a law unto themselves.
Maybe if they make them "professional", i.e. let them make a lucrative living from umpiring (which, of course means that they can get dropped and miss a match payment if their umpiring is not up to "par").
It would entice kids who perhaps aren't "elite" enough to play, but have an intense passion for the game to still "play".
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
