Sydney coach John Longmire has confirmed the Swans sought an explanation about the standard of umpiring in last year's AFL grand final.
The Western Bulldogs were awarded 20 free kicks compared to Sydney's eight during their 22-point triumph, with an AFL review later confirming several calls were incorrect and the performance was not up to standard.

Longmire on Tuesday called for the league to invest more in the umpiring department, telling SEN radio the officials needed to work more on their craft.
