51 free kicks for the match.
31 Ingle Farm
20 Central United
Also one mark called out on the full, another throw in called out on the full (but that’s the Ingle farm boundary umpire haha).
Also I was wrong there were ball ups.. but the stoppage was often moved from where play stopped to where the umpire was

In the two games I've seen so far this season it has been taken advantage of by the players on line ball decisions where the umpire is too far away to make a fair assessment.
Most of the B Grade umpires are on the northern side of 50 years old so they'll keep to the corridor as much as possible, they can't be expected to be out close to the boundary line to make them calls too.

Maybe clubs could paint the boundary line a darker colour than white which is almost impossible to see from the middle of the ground.

Yeah, it seems that way, surely they'd want some cruiser money for their Saturday night.

That's coz you live in the middle of buttphuck nowhere and there's nothing for people to do except help out.

It is slightly cultural engrained though. I cant believe with cricket we don't have single issue finding teammates to set up/pack up, umpire and score. Everyone just does it with no complaints. Man half the drama of being a captain in the PDCA was trying to get your own teammates to help out.

hell for $50 a game ill run the boundary line
used to be rostered to do it for free when i played a couple of seasons out at peake. do the boundary for the A's after shuffling around in the B's.
club wouldnt lose any money either, it would come straight back over the bar at the end of the game while i caught my breath, lol

Country footy vs City footy is incomparable.
Your comp has town vs town where boundary umps would work on a roster from the kids that played the game before.
Blokes don't mind being the goal ump as it means not having to listen to the missus and they don't hit the piss as early so they are still in reasonable tact by the time the A's finish.
City juniors play on Sunday's, only the kids that are too young to do boundary would be watching the seniors, those capable would probably be playing B's.
