    Sometimes it not even worth trying to explain Chris. It is what it is. You can hope for change but its never going to happen. Just got to hope the kids have a thick skin and weather it long enough. Must admit, some saturday afternoons i think it would be better to be home playing with the kids.

    All you guys having a crack are more than welcome to come down to Macpherson Park Wednesday and have a go at umpiring yourself. You won't need much training as you all seem like experts already. Happy to lend a whistle if you need.......

    Keston is right, 20 plus time on but it is the definition of time on. RDFL does not play full AFL time on rules. The clock does not stop for ball ups/ out of bounds unless the umpire signals time off ie ball went over the fence. You will find quarters are anywhere from 23-27 minutes in the...

    Wow. Bit of an overreaction. I don't think 2 frees difference is one sided. Your captains exact words at 3qtr time was "having 3 is great, you haven't missed a thing". Very surprised to hear your reaction. I'll admit we got one or 2 wrong. Would you like to provide some specific examples of what...

    It was a great game. Broadford are the real deal. If they finish 6th, the team that finished 3rd will really wish they had made the top 2. However Skip, not sure where you got your stats from. Just rewatched the 1st half and the free kick count was broadford 10, Riddell 12.

    Riddell was in great condition saturday. Barely any mud at all.

    I think you will find there hasn't actually been too many reports this season. I have only heard about one or 2. I'm not sure if you are aware but we have lost one of our avenues before reporting. Now that the RDFL is aligned with with the VCFL there are no longer send offs in...

A number of our umpires will be visiting AFL umpires training tomorrow and we have a few AFL umpires visiting our training wednesday. Also to engage with the...

    Must admit it is difficult for us sometimes to work out who our fellow umpire is and who the runners are. I have actually thought i was handing over control to the other umpire only to realise that is was the runner and then i had to bust my arse to catch up to the play. Now it must be pointed...

    That 100 includes juniors, boundary and goal umpires. We have about 40 saturday field umpires and the guy you think should retire is clearly still in our best 14 that need to do senior footy each week.

    It is out of bounds the second the entire ball crosses the line. Doesn't matter where the ball ends up.

    Obviously i have no idea about yesterday's game but you had a 3 time senior grand final umpire who has 3 years VFL experience and an at least 6 time senior grand final umpire yesterday.

    Scores are never wiped for a headcount. Goal umpires will note the time and the current score and all information will be put on the match report for the league to decide. Only the captain can request a headcount to the field umpires. If the captain is off, then a nominated vice captain should...
