The umpires are shocking for most teams, with a few exceptions of course. On the media, we probably don't have enough former players or supporters to influence the narrative. The Stengle story being buried within a day being a good example.
My thoughts on this are that the media, and AFL HQ would like an EPL style setup with a few Vic and interstate superclubs playing in front of 150,000 and other clubs being like Luton Town.
Question for those who want Pert, Goofy and the entire board sacked - who are you replacing them with? No doubt you will enjoy the 3+ years being like Norf. The rest of us won't.
