New to Kayo?The Blues skipper’s final score was a talking point in itself, but so was the questionable polling of other players across the night – with the likes of Marcus Bontempelli and Noah Anderson finishing with tallies significantly less than predicted by many.
“The AFL umpires believe they are nailing the brief … but when you’re running 12 kilometres a game, you’re going to make some clangers, you’re going to say that someone like Harrison Petty’s best afield for 13 possessions, which is clearly wrong. “They’re running their butts off, they are umpiring the hardest game in the world to umpire, and we’re adding this layer to them without this safeguard.”Gerard Whateley and Mark Robinson only an hour beforehand, with Whateley simply dumbfounded at the idea of gatekeeping stats away from officials.“Troubleshoot me if I’m wrong here – there is not one logical reason why we shouldn’t give the umpires all the information before they cast their votes,” Whateley said on Tuesday night.
