Noticing the umpires . . .

Watching the Demons take on the Tigers and the thing we notice most is, paradoxically, that we're not noticing the umpires.

We also caught a couple of quarters of the Hawks demolishing the Lions. Similarly, we didn't notice the whistle blowers.

It's so good to be able to concentrate on the footy. As we noted a few days ago, the new bosses of the AFL's umpiring department look to have stamped their authority on the competition. Good stuff.

The new Demons showed a spirit and composure that was never in evidence over the past couple of years. Plenty for Melbourne fans to look forward to.

For the Tigers it was Groundhog Day. Skill errors were telling. They might tease again without making the transition into a good football side.
