All nine games every weekend matter.

And we don't have a core of umpires who are capable of officiating in those games at the moment.

It's a massive issue for the league.

I think there's merit in that debate at the moment.

And then you figure out a way to bring the squad up to speed to service four.

But the lesson of Saturday was we don't have enough for the task at hand.

The seedings are next.

Waitly on SEN.

The Seatings for Australian Outdoor Living, dream backyards for all seasons.

Your Seatings have been outstanding and an excellent actual guide to the way the season has gone as opposed to my theatrical Seatings.

This is where we are absolutely aligned.

Our one, two, three is Fremantle, Sydney and Hawthorne.

I could see, so there's a world in which Sydney just has a misstep or two with the draw that they've got and Hawthorne challenges them.

Um,

But they're one, two, three.

So I've got a really elaborate triple threat structure for four that involves Brisbane and Geelong because Brisbane play Sydney and then Brisbane play Geelong.

But because I have to put somebody there at the moment, as much as I would really like to put Carlton there, but they'd be treated the way I was doing that for laughs, Adelaide will sit fourth for the time being.

Geez, they've come, haven't they, Adelaide?

Yeah.

It's the bye.
