Hey my old friend I would probably disagree here and say that top level footy should have full complement of umpires unless the ground is smaller in size and maybe 2 umpires are sufficient. They attract the best players so should have full complement.Complete farce that Suns v Heights had no umpires. About time clubs made a stand and ask the question why the hell has Div 1 have 3 umpires most games. Give them 2 and give the extra 5 left over 1 from each game to div 3 commo sense
Umpire numbers are a concern but I guess the abuse the cop from idiots in the crowd who get drunk has come back to haunt some clubs. Yes they make mistakes but why yell abuse. Because they know an umpire won’t hit them in return so it’s an easy target for these coward supporters..
