  1. G’day Peter,

    Did you use the quote to move on from Mick Malthouse who speaks up about issues? Or change the culture?

    But in my opinion, your beloved Blues could have won two more games last year against Geelong. Umpires’ poor decisions in these games are controversial.

    Or do you want to do proper work to improve rather than blaming umpires?

    It must be very tough for Bluebaggers.

    All the best.
