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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
