with volunteers so scarse , as long as they can throw the ball over their heads they are good ,
a little help from the field umpires doesnt go astray

Our B grade boundry umps a young kid, and he does a great job. Makes way less mistakes than our feild ump

It was a simple question for one person but apparently he is unable to reply

18.4 All boundary and goal umpires must be a minimum of fourteen (14) years of age.

Im happy if they are able to throw the ball in well. Good on them for getting off the couch to do it and make some pocket money.

When a kid has to go 3m in front of the ruck pack to throw in it makes it a bit dangerous IMO. There is 8-10m from him to the boundary where players are trying to get the tap.

It is a bit unfortunate when you have 50 blokes drinking beer on the sidelines who could be throwing the ball in far more adequately, dishing it out verbally to the young boundary umps. I guess that's the way it is and the way it always will be - and it's league wide. All that being said, it should be the club's responsibility to field an umpire who can keep up with the play.

This reminds of Saturday at Glenunga in the Bgrade. Glenungas young lad boundary ump was almost in tears in front of our bench but not from us from his own club giving him a hard time about a ball that was meant to be out of bounds.

Was thighs for biceps one of the blokes involved in the altercation with bouncers at your sponsors pub later that night?

I am not aware of any altercation between the above mentioned, or a bouncer, or our sponsor pub.

Spot on. And it happens in country leagues as well. Seems to be that the bloke half pissed on the boundary line is the one with all the knowledge but has the least pride to actually do something helpful for his club on the field
