    Have to agree with Joey on this one. The depth of umpiring has improved markedly this year with the return of a number of umpires and the coming on of some of the younger guys. Sure a couple of high quality guys were lost but they have been replaced. Foolish comment by RHT. I know for a fact...

    Umpires for the Upwey v Woori game: McNiece Shoebridge Lemercier Moin's little mate doing the 2s. Quite surprised at the umpires who finished above him!

    LFG. Without having seen much of the lads this year but based on ability my 4 would be Shoebridge, McNiece, Walters and Lemercier. Have no idea really though just going on this weeks selections and who appears to be missing! Shows the depth must be improving if they can afford to leave guys...

    Moin is on the money with the Div 2 GF umpires. Haven't seen any run for quite a while so can't pass comment. A couple of guys look like they are being "rested" this week so will see what comes of the big one next week. For mine looks like 4 names fitting into 3 spots.

    No big secret mate. Just not my place to be posting it on a public forum and have the forumites bitch and moan about who is umpiring them.:D

    Moin, not sure the heads of the umpiring dept would be too keen on me posting the appointments on here for all to see. You will no doubt know your little mate is running around at Healesville on Sunday Arvo. Without having seen any of the guys form since early in the year I would say McNiece...

    Umpires are also reaching the business end of the season and looks to be a fair mix of youth and experience running around this weekend across the senior games. I know Moin is always keen to see how the lads are travelling and the usual suspects will be popping there heads up this week in the...

    Correct you are Accurate One. Peter flagged his intention to resign with the league at season's end leaving the post open to applicants. I would like to thank Peter and Will publicly for their tremendous efforts with the YRUA over the past two seasons. Will must get further kudos for setting...

    Aaron (the cube) Bailey and Daniel (Daisy) Adams will be very handy additions at SMS. Daisy has played interleague for EFL and both have premiership experience. Bails will do well at this level with his strong body and willingness to go and get the footy. Have not seen much D3 footy so can't...

    GF umpires thread

    Re: Merged GF umpire thread You hawks supporters on this thread should be ashamed of yourselves! You've just won the flag and you're on here bitching about the umpires. Get off the computer you flogs and get on with celebrating the premiership. No-one remembers the umpires decisions!

    Monnie Hawk, Do you know much about the young boy who died after a bike accident in Monbulk yesterday? Were his family associated with the footy club at all? They mentioned it was at a reserve. Thought it might have been at the bike/skate park next to the ground.

    Recruitment and retention of umpires in the Valley has been particularly difficult over the past 3 years. The Umpires Academy has thrown up some good umpires but unfortunately it is difficult to keep these kids when the choice between footy and umpiring is put up. Most choose footy. Who wants to...
