Since the West Coast win of 2006, there's been 16 Victorian premiership winners and 2 to the rest of Australia. Which suggests that there's a reason or two, other than luck involved.

Ha! But I was referencing umpiring across the whole season. Even watching games where the Swans weren’t involved, there’s been some dreadful decision making, and not even in terms of bias. Just bad and befuddling umpiring. It’s a real issue for the game.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Four point game, but Lukes Darcy and Shuey can't find a vote for a Brisbane player?[IMG][/IMG]Screenshot_20230930_184513_AFL.jpg

And by the way, even if the umps wanted to pay advantage, tell me more about the miss of the over the shoulder high on Zac Bailey. Shocker.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Agree. It's like a bit of a raffle with high contact, 50 metres and standing the mark just to name a few.Comment

Looking at all the comments on AFL instagram page it’s easy to see that people have very little faith in the umpiring and integrity of the sport.
As a one off I think it’s harsh but it’s a good micro of the macro. Fingers crossed the new CEO does something about itComment

This is generally the worst year of umpiring I’ve seen in 30 years of footy, and I’m not even referencing how it affects us. They’ve added a fourth umpire to the field, but they keep overloading them with new rules and interpretations. I actually have some sympathy for them, but some of the decisions today were so subpar and lopsided - summed up by the last play re advantage. Brisbane neither knew it was their penalty, or had taken any control of the ball - so how they could have taken a decision to play on is beyond me.
I thought the umpiring was ok except for the inconsistency on head high tackles. That one by Maynard in the last quarter was so obviously high. N.Daicos loves dropping the knees. And Ginnavan got pilloried last year for doing the same and the umpires stopped paying him frees. Looks like we have to put up with the Daicos favouritism for some years.Comment

Coleman from Brisbane was only one from Brisbane who got votes in the Coleman Medal. I imagine the consternation if Brisbane had won. Daniher was worthy of some recognition.
I thought Mitchell had a top game and his stats even belied how he played. 13 tackles, he ran all game and was "the" extractor of the game. Did a heck of a lot of one percenters that he didn't get a stat for.Comment
