It’s been quite some journey, but this weekend, which “Obviously, you don’t want scoring errors, but positioning coincides with the game celebrating ‘umpiring is is critical.

All umpires – fi eld, boundary and goal – are scrutinized Asked why he chose goal umpiring, Jones simply replied: and assessed each week. For goal umpires there are bonus “I thought I could do it, so I gave it a go and got involved.

While he has umpired a Semi Final at Bellerive Oval in 2005 when the Tasmania Devils were part of the VFL, Jones admitted he’s had to work hard to hold his place on the panel. “I’ve had my ups and downs with fi tness so it’s good to get this far,” Jones said. Jones said he had to work hard to keep his skin fold down and also pass the cut-off point for the then four kilometer time trial. “I struggled making the time, but now they’ve pulled it back to a two K (kilometer) time trial and I’ve been able to pass it,” he said. Jones said the message was loud and clear that unless he passed the mid-season time trial that he wouldn’t be on the panel the following season. He spent the 2009 season with the Development squad, but Jones wanted to return to where he had previously umpired – the VFL. “I just worked my butt off,” Jones said. “I thought ‘I want to keep doing this’ so I passed the test and stayed on.” Jones offi ciated in the then VFL Reserves Grand Final in 2010. With the positioning of goal umpires well and truly in focus in the AFL, Jones said it is critical to either be on the line or under the fl ight of the ball. www.vfl .com.au 3 UMPIRING IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS UMPIRING IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS UMPIRE and football scouts are no different – they’re both after athletes.

  • AFL VICTORIA RELEASE AFL Victoria Is Particularly Pleased to Again See
    AFL VICTORIA RELEASE AFL Victoria is particularly pleased to again see over half of the new talent selected in the NAB AFL Draft come from Victorian football. 36 Victorian players were selected in last night’s NAB AFL Draft, with 33 players recruited from the TAC Cup competition and three from the Peter Jackson VFL. Victorian community football and the talented player pathway produced 55% of new draftees while South Australia produced 21%, Western Australia 18%, Tasmania 5% and Queensland 1%. AFL Victoria General Manager Grant Williams believes the results reflect the strong talent development pathways in Victoria. “The NAB AFL Draft continues to highlight the variety of pathways in which talented players are being developed in Victoria, starting at a local community Club level and working their way up through the talented player pathway either via the TAC Cup or VFL competitions.” Victoria produced eight out of the first 10 draft selections, with Dandenong Southern Stingrays Lachie Whitfield becoming the eleventh number one pick from the TAC Cup competition in its 21 year history, and the fourth Dandenong top pick. Whitfield joined the likes of former Stingrays Jeff White (1994), Travis Johnstone (1997) and Tom Scully (2009) all of whom had their name read out first on AFL Draft night. “The TAC Cup competition continues to be the premier drafting ground for AFL footballers, with over 1,000 players having now been drafted over the 21 years of the competitions existence.” “Congratulations should go to each of AFL Victoria’s Talent Managers who manage quality programs in each of Victoria’s twelve regions that field teams in the TAC Cup competition.
