The AFL needs to take a serious look at how they recruit, develop and train their umpires.
Umpiring is a joke at a junior level, and it doesn’t improve upwards.
The AFL needs to invest in umpires at a junior level to develop talent that stays in the game and eventually umpires at the top level after many years of experience, just like the players. It should start at grassroots level.
But just like Eleni, junior leagues are putting in inexperienced under qualified umpires who ruin games of football because they aren’t up to the level they’re umpiring.
It’s not the umpires fault though, it’s the AFL and the leagues not wanting to invest in this so this is what we get. Mediocrity.
Why would they continue? How’s a 15 year old kid supposed to respond to that at the local footy?
It’s sad and pathetic the way some carry on on here, and they would be those exact people cluelessly abusing kids at local games thinking they’re some kind of hero![]()

If you accuse others Dudley, you should not behave that way yourself. You fit in at the Greens party Dudley.

I used to sit on a local AFL disputes tribunal. The maggots would throw a hissy fit if you let the player off.CURLY wrote: ↑Fri 09 Aug 2019 3:14pm I went to a tribunal in junior footy as one of my Under 12 players had been struck. Nothing sinister just a poor attempt at a spoil. The umpire and his adviser wanted the poor kid hung drawn and quartered. In a well rehearsed performance it was a true example of them trying to get a win. This is how the bad relationship starts.

Actually, she is worse!! She has absolutely no feel for the game. We can only hope her inconsistencies and lack of understanding for the game falls in our favour.

Not once have I personally abused Richo, called him a maggot, called him a cheat or worse, which you all have with umpires and AFL officials. Everything I said about Richo was criticising his job performance.
In fact, numerous times I have said positive things about Richo as a person. Doubt any of you heroes have done the same with umpires
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
You can say an umpire has had a bad performance, Dar for example, without insulting him personally or attacking his integrity.
It’s s simple concept some fail to understand.

You do not want good umpiring, you want umpiring in your teams favour. And it’s sad and pathetic that you cannot realise or admit this.
And besides, none of this has anything to do with young and junior umpires copping abuse at local footy, no doubt from the same pathetic flogs who carry on about it at AFL level.
They don’t earn a living from it, or get the right support, so why would they bother continuing?

What is considered a decent wage now a days?
From what I understand the base wage of an AFL Umpire is $65K part time
Over 30 years as a professional in an indusrty and I am only earning 1.25 times that full time.
Can we get more decent than that - if so - I want to be treated 'decently'.
I have been in employ for 46 years. In all that time no one has ever spoken to me in my employment the way I have been spoken to whilst officiating in a voluntary capacity in junior sport.
When a 15 year old goes out to umpire a junior footy match for pocket money , and is subjected to all sorts of insults and threats, I am pretty sure he or she is not thinking “ No worries - 15 more years of this and I will be on $65K “.

Re: Eleni Umpiring Saints v Freo
I just updated my tip to Freo.
I think we can win by 3 goals but she will gift Freo 4 so that means we will lose.

The AFL needs to take a serious look at how they recruit, develop and train their umpires.
Umpiring is a joke at a junior level, and it doesn’t improve upwards.
The AFL needs to invest in umpires at a junior level to develop talent that stays in the game and eventually umpires at the top level after many years of experience, just like the players. It should start at grassroots level.
But just like Eleni, junior leagues are putting in inexperienced under qualified umpires who ruin games of football because they aren’t up to the level they’re umpiring.
It’s not the umpires fault though, it’s the AFL and the leagues not wanting to invest in this so this is what we get. Mediocrity.
Why would they continue? How’s a 15 year old kid supposed to respond to that at the local footy?
It’s sad and pathetic the way some carry on on here, and they would be those exact people cluelessly abusing kids at local games thinking they’re some kind of hero![]()
And wouldn’t umpires being ‘dropped’ indicate that they’re getting negative feedback about their performance
You do not want good umpiring, you want umpiring in your teams favour. And it’s sad and pathetic that you cannot realise or admit this.
And besides, none of this has anything to do with young and junior umpires copping abuse at local footy, no doubt from the same pathetic flogs who carry on about it at AFL level.
They don’t earn a living from it, or get the right support, so why would they bother continuing?
Again, you don’t want good umpiring, you want umpiring in your favour.

Re: Eleni Umpiring Saints v Freo
Maggots are fair game on here. Saints officials, who I never abuse are not, so I think once again you are barking up the wrong tree.
Abuse towards fellow posters is against the rules.

You and others posting every week about umpires is beyond laughable. Your bias is so profound that it's bewildering. You do understand that there's other teams we play against don't you? You do realise that many supporters of those teams actually believe that they are getting stiffed by the umpires when they play us. Particularly at the start of the year when we played the hawks and the bombers. I get as frustrated as anyone with umpires but if you can't see that we lose 99% of games due to lack of ability or not being better on the day you're deluded. Posting adnauseum every week about umpires is weird.
