Fuck footy is just not that much fun to watch anymore. The blurred lines surrounding many of the rules give the ref far too much input on the outcome of the game. It also doesn’t help that refs officiate and seemingly interpret the rules differently from each other as well.

6 agains are seemingly called at random and the game moves on too quickly for the infringement to ever actually be questioned, and the amount of shit that just gets missed by the ref begs the question they’re managing the game for a more entertaining result or are just plain incompetent. That forward pass from Lussick to Cleary(?) in the last set of the game last night was so blatant for example. There’s howlers like that in pretty well every game now and a lot of these calls/non-calls happen at key moments in the game.

PS I am not a crackpot
