I didn't watch the game last night. What's the verdict?

    they had the most senior umpires in place, and for the most part they were a little bit hotter on holding the ball, but it wasn't a huge difference

    I personally thought it was called very well and opened the game up. Less ball ups and players cramming around the ball. Worked well and ironically probably did the thing the AFL wanted by not calling it: created a more free flowing game and created space

    What a fail that was.  So many caught read hot and in clear view with 4 umpires yet not paid or overruled, including the one below and Tracc's yesterday that would have resulted in a hot at goal.

    A few improvements like blowing the whistle earlier when players were wrapped up (at times)

    Pay a few HTBs here and there and ignore the rest!  The AFL and its umpiring continue on continuing on with their trashing of the game ...

    You'd think when a directive is given that it at least brings a sugar hit of consistency for a brief moment, Thurs and Fri showed this but the rest of the weekend was all over the place.
