AFL: David King believes the tackle could be a casualty of new interpretations in what he calls a 'sad state of affairs'
It’s been revealed that AFL umpires haven’t done a skills session together in “several years” in a season the standard of officiating has become a key talking point .The stunning revelation is a massive contrast to state league umpires , who train together twice a week.
“When some AFL umpires have been sent out to community leagues in recent weeks and months and been asked to run skill sessions, it has dawned on them they don’t know what to do because they no longer do that at the elite level. AFL umpires attend Marvel Stadium on Tuesdays for coaching feedback and video edits from the AFL Review Centre plus umpire analysis manager Tim Neville.
“Laura Kane at the time told us the dissent free kick paid against Jordan Clark was correct ... spent three weeks in the VFL on the back of that despite the AFL telling us at the time it was the right decision,” Landsberger added.
