This is embarrassing
it should be emphasised that in these cases however it is different because it was the afl medical officer who forced the retirements no scope for club trickery here

May to Tribunal
any "reasonable" judge should have been able to reach a judgement in .5 second, but gleeson needed to take 3 hours! of course any "reasonable" judge would have got the judgement correct too just as well he doesn't play football

Judd McVee contract
i'm old enough to remember (and attend) the aussie rules carnival (which was held somewhat erratically) it was marvellous for its time, but i'm not recommending a revival of its format just reminiscing

TRAINING: Sunday 22nd June 2025
no doubt there is a lot of psychological pressure involved during gameday but one of the benefits of practice, practice, practice (structured with supervision, analysis and follow-up, of course) is you develop a higher degree of instinctiveness and muscle memory, minimising the psychological game day nerves. it just staggers me we don't seem to apply an extensive scientific and professional approach to the most important skill ... i mean games are won or lost on goal kicking ... simple as that

Umpiring standard
i'm sure that can be sorted out. either by rescheduling, training, monitoring etc. you do realise we have ex player as goal umpire and he definitely umpires games of both his previous teams. additionally, all existing umpires would have been a supporter of a team and there is no hint they are scheduled to avoid any conflicts
-
Umpiring standard
binman, i would add to your good points, to say that in a professional umpiring era a good source for umpires would be retired players. many afl players when they retire have no new real career to pursue. the afl could fast track them through a training acadmy then start them off umpiring in the vfl until they are ready for afl. i'm sure there would be plenty of players grateful for this opportunity. they could even start some umpiring academy work in the final years before their retirement from playing. many players are already doing this sort of studying/work-experience in other fields in preparation for after-footy life.
