After watching yesterday's poorly umpired game, I've come to the conclusion that the rot needs to stop. The AFL needs to come to terms that umpires' decisions are influenced by big intimidating home crowds (generally outside of Victoria) who scream and holla for free kicks. It makes perfect sense; after all, they're only human.
The proof seems to be in the pudding. Just look at the statistics, not just the ones St.Kilda got reamed in. It's an unfair advantage. In saying this, perhaps umpires need to undergo noise desensitisation training so they can block out the influence of the crowd and start listening to the little man in their heads before they make the judgement call.
Thoughts?

Re: New Training Idea for AFL Umpires
Wrong. The game was umpired perfectly yesterday in accordance with the AFL instigated and backed grand conspiracy against the St Kilda FC (for reasons unknown).

Re: New Training Idea for AFL Umpires
leigh seems to be quite harsh on us, he really gives us grief.
'nothing personal'?
Who knows.
Perhaps he doesn't want to be seen to be favouring
his old club, so he goes too hard?
