Definitely. And if they make mistakes they get dropped.  Less salary.   Only way. Make them accountable to get it tight and get in the correct position to see the play.

I think we do need to remember that 's still an incredibly tough sport to umpire. Unlike rugby league for instance, it's not predominantly players moving one way or the other.

Less salary will hardly be an incentive either. I can imagine Mr Compromised Michael Christian reducing the salary of an umpire who dares report a Collingwood player.

    If they were paid in a similar way to players and I mean quite well. Then the incentive is too not make a mistake and keep getting a game to umpire  each week . And therefore a hell of a lot of money.  The best umpires get a high profile, the best games and the best sponsor ship. 
    the cream will rise to the top. 
    how can you have professional players being dictated to by part time actors.

    Full time umpires. It’s the only way forward. They become accountable and if paid enough, you will get more people willing to do that job.  In all grades,

    and I have umpired but at a very low level. I used to call the game in my head and go with the first thought.

    I think Umpires should be available to The Media, would make a big difference. 
    There are too many cameras on the field now, to hide behind mistakes

    I've got a lot of respect for Mihocek.

    It would be a help to us if he wasn't right to play on KB.

    Definitely a key forward. He's almost their version of Fritsch based on goals scored.

    A quiet achiever

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
