The league has given clubs 36 hours to find umpires for all under 12s games on Sunday 11/4. The league has had months of knowing what umpire numbers they had, they also do allocations of games on Wednesday, yet they see fit to rush a request like this through.
Not to mention that in many cases these roles have been prepaid and now it's expected to be covered by volunteers!
Then you can look at the incompetence when it comes to grading teams year in year out. You only need to flick through the junior fixtures to see what a mess it is after division 1, it's really not that hard if you understand how clubs second teams onwards become smaller children with less ability......
Junior numbers are down and the one thing that hasn't been acknowledged is that there is less under 8s and Auskick children coming through. This will be a role on effect in the coming years and I fear will be a huge imposition on club/league future finance. It will be interesting to see if there is a response to assist this emerging issue.
Let's hope the league can regroup and stop fumbling the ball!
