Didn't someone do that earlier in this thread?
1. The AFL should definitely be funding them, they get billions in TV rights, but can't afford to fund the umpires?
2. A coach and assistants are appointed. Assistants for various ancillary skills, bouncing etc.
3. The umipres train at the same frequency as players.
4. They conduct video reviews with the assistant coaches.
5. In training sessions, they play actual games with the assistant coaches as umpires. So they get more of a feel for the game.
6. There is an award for the best umpire of the year. Like the Brownlow, standings are kept secrect 'til the end of the year.
Hopefully measures like these will at least make them more consistent.
I see what Thy means about post splitters!
