@yme778 Hopefully he works out. Just may take a little longer than others.

A good match for Ed in the VFL. Just can’t bridge the gap as yet. But, he keeps putting his hand up and will get more opportunities. #gopies

Our great game has lots of challenges right now, but none more than umpiring. This was a 50:50 call, but last nights game wasn’t the best advertisement for consistency and clarity for all involved.

"Tommy Lynch is still asking the question." "So is Adem Yze! Fury right now!" The Tigers coach was NOT happy with one non-call 😠 RECAP ➡️ bit.ly/3OEdxQg

@yme778 And he went forward in the last and set up a goal. Had great versatility. Only 20, great size, can take a mark.

@LaurenHeraldSun It’s an offensive finding Lauren…. You and your cohorts shouldn’t let it get swept under the carpet

Jeez… tonight’s umpiring isn’t helping the AFL’s rough few weeks.
It’s such a hard job, and the scrutiny and attention on it is at a level unlike we’ve ever had, but man it’s not good.
Greg Swann came into the AFL, highly touted, and rightfully so, but I’m struggling to see what has really improved…

Prior Opportunity was introduced in 1996…..30 years ago. The problem now is simply this.
Coaches today will not allow players to release the footy. They must maintain possession or create a ball up. Coaches in the past allowed players to get a very quick kick, handball, knock on, kick off ground towards your goal generally to a 50/50 situation.
Imagine a game when the scores are level with 60 seconds to go. That’s what footy used to be like. Perpetual motion with territory forward the principle instead of maintaining possession.
Similarly when a team is less than 6 points in front with 1 minute to go and the ball is in dispute, you have the leading team wanting to create a stoppage or maintain possession and the other team keeping the ball alive by any means (avoiding stoppages) in a helter skelter last ditched effort to score.
It’s not the rules it’s not the umpires it’s the coaches. The ONLY way to checkmate the coaches is to introduce no prior opportunity which will create an intriguing strategic and tactical battle and assimilate the last 60 seconds with both teams tied.
