Parkside are the favourites for D2 after losing the D3 GF
Paying more per game should attract more I'd have thought.

What does a premier level u p get paid these days, I umpired in EDFL for 20 years, finishing up 10 years ago as life got too busy with a young family and I started doing the old man calf far too regularly.. but was about $156 a game from memory when I finished up.
I personally never did it for the money, was a good incentive when I was a teen but was always just to stay involved in a game I loved when I realised I wasn’t very good at playing it. I found most of the better umps the money was irrelevant, especially when you consider 2 hours every Tuesday & Thursday, 4 hours on a Saturday and then recovery on a Sunday, the hourly rate from $150 was fairly negligible.. and that’s before you consider expenses like fuel, massage, etc if I had enough left over to cover the footy trip this was a bonus..

Hang on… umpires have footy trips?
High tea around
All round
These days, particularly for young people, we're competing with a bevvy of options in terms of how potential young umpires spend their Saturdays.
Just because older generations did it as a leisure activity doesn't mean the current are willing to do the same.
If it was a meaningful way to contribute to their lifestyle/pay the groceries whilst at uni etc there is no doubt in my mind we would get more umpires.
If nothing else- we'd be more likely to recruit them across from other leagues.

I was given the task of first shout on our ump's trip at a bar on the GC and had to ask for 46 pots of their best.
Did they have a second ?

I see that 2 very experienced VAFA umpires have left VAFA and gone to Southern Football League.

Beaumaris player points from the weekends game.
22 names = 47/45 points.
#18 (4 pointer) listed as an emergency, has not had his points added to the total /45
The 43/45 total points only reflects 21 players.
Appears the same thing has occurred the previous week when Beaumaris played SBMT.
47/45 the last two weeks.
It all obviously slips through the cracks at VAFA because they are under the 45 points only because the player listed as the emergency does not have his points included in the total which tip them over.

They have had a 4 point player listed as an emergency for those rounds. When the total team points have been calculated together, the emergencies points have not been included in this total figure.
Hence, undetected until St Bernard’s raised the alarm following their match from the weekend.
No, that’s the issues. Played with the 22 for both rounds 11 and 12, exceeding the points - 47/45.

Of course we did, but only 1 pot per bar.
In A Grade even the UNIBluesAFL seem to be playing by the rules?
Did St Bernards blow the whistle last year as well?

Cheating is cheating.
FWIW surely there is a reasonable explanation for this? How could you stuff this up after last year.
Correct. I’m just glad someone in club land is taking notice because VAFA asleep at the wheel again.
Surely the app would alert all and sundry when a team goes over the allocation???

I think it's a loophole that may have been exploited and will be quickly plugged.
