I've learnt to live with our subpar performances. I've learnt to live with umpires who umpire like they've never seen the sport of AFL played before or decide that they think they need to exert themselves on the game. But working all week, looking forward to watching eagles on a Friday night to have to listen Gerard Healy and Ben Dixon takes the cake. There are so many great WA commentators, surely Fox Footy can open the cheque book out so I don't have to commentate the games myself with the volume down.

G'day everyone,

Just wanting to know what pathways everyone has taken passed an electrician. I'm 25 and been a fully qualified electrician for 3 years now. Majority of my time has been spent in the industrial industry doing service work for quarries, feed mills and a little bit of hazardous area customers. As well as install jobs for the same customer base.

I'm currently earning $120k-180k a year depending on how much overtime I'm willing to do and as much as I enjoy what I'm doing I can't help but see how coworkers and older electricians wish they went further with their careers.

I'm currently at the stage of my career where I love what I do but I to know I don't want to do it forever so I'd love to know what everyone else who has built their career has done.

Every year the AFL is making moves and adjustments to make the game better and more watchable but something that I very rarely see get mentioned is how can we make Umpiring better.

Surely the only answer is make it a full time job like the players they are adjudicating. Making umpiring a full time job will enable more focus to be put into adjuticating the game better and making less mistakes.

Just like AFL players mistakes and bad decision are always going to happen, it's a part of the game but what we want as spectators and supporters is for these bad decisions to be reduced. Whether everyone likes to agree that umpiring effects games the truth is just like a bad kick or fumble which leads to an easy goal, an incorrect decision which leads to a goal has the same magnitude when it comes to a momentum shift.

I'd feel safe eating food Tylar Young left out on the bench over the weekend because he can't spoil anything.
