TV star hits AFL footy boss with one burning Richmond question
As soon as Laura Kane had been introduced, Front Bar host Mick Molloy fired up over the long-running ‘scandal’.

Here’s the question asked by Mick Molloy on the Front Bar to Laura Kane
The question was treated as a joke
Not that bit. In between a couple of the bits where she "took a sip" to avoid answering the question she actually acknowledged that the umpiring needed an overhaul and revised approach. And Steve McBurney started as head of umpires on April 30TV star hits AFL footy boss with one burning Richmond question

Unbelievable. Hide like a rhinoceros, more front than Myers, comp is as crooked as a dog's hind leg. Anyone else gets a 5 figure fine, he gets a delegation from head office! Un bloody believable.
More & more I'm disliking this bunch of entitled rectums.
They have a direct line to AFL HQ, we have a direct line to "all our operators are busy, please try again later"
I think someone mentioned to me that Lethal should have left Bruns alone and got sHocking…..a few times
May have been a joke, it may not.
The AFL's EGM of Football, Laura Kane, spoke with the Cats over the weekend and said the League's new head of officiating Stephen McBurney and head umpiring coach Michael Jennings drove to Geelong on Monday to meet with Scott in person and discuss his concerns.
"The really important part for me is we are connected with our clubs, we are connected to our coaches and we're all on the same page in terms of rules, in terms of the way our umpires are coached to interpret them and we're on the same page in terms of outcomes," Kane told Footy Feed Extra.
"(They) will head down to Geelong today to meet with Chris and make sure we're on the same page moving forward and reconnect interpretations of various things. Some from the game, some just generally.
"They are the opportunities that we take from this commentary and these types of situations. We take the opportunity to educate our clubs and in turn be educated."
Scarcely believable. They drive there after he complains. After they won the free kick count. After the umpires brought them back into the game. After the Cats completely ignore player welfare in chasing a victory.
So much hubris, they care so little for the AFL fan they do not even bother hiding their clear bias for the Cats.
What a *smile* show the AFL has become.
If McBurney is genuinely trying to drive accountability and improve comms with HQ that is a good thing. We know who the previous leader of the umpires was and maybe the afl have responded to many clubs being pissed off.
Let’s see what happens with the next club that complains.
This has a stench all over it though.

This is where we'll see how authentic this new approach is.
I guess now that the precedent has been set, more clubs will come out seeking explanations.
If he spent an hour with Salty going through rules and interpretations
Whenever it’s out turn he’ll be at Punt Rd for a week going over all the games we’ve been reamed by the umps
Do you really think they done that?
I reackon one was wearing a bib so they didn’t get their shirt stained while the other said “who’s your daddy?”
