Senior List
The home side is supposed to organise the boundary umpires. Each club is also required to provide a list of 3 representatives from each club to be able to officiate in the reserves if need be, as the Seniors get first preference with umpires, then the thirds, then the millewa, then the Reserves. Each club was notified of the shortage of umpires this season and these measures have been implemented. Each club has a responsibility, so I think you should direct your comments at the Merbein FC buddy.
Why do MFL get preference over the SFL twos. Doesn't seem right that a second rate league should get preference.
