We won one of those games by the way!
We had one of the top officials on the local game make a horrendous error a few years back that did change momentum in a game. He is still a top official in my opinion. However, for example, there is another Grade 1 official who I have seen three times this year and he gets five or six decisions right out of ten. He should not be Grade 1. Grade 1 needs to be getting 8 or 9 right.
Someone mentioned managers and players need to be better. What is being missed is that we pay to play - they get paid. Just looking for value for money.
The AUL would take any good footballing man on board. They are overworked amateurs.
Anyone who was at the meeting when the missing money story broke saw the AUL chairman in pieces. If he knew about the money and was acting, then he should get an Oscar!!
Best of luck Tricks!
