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

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
