Craig0-8890Yearly Report00Yearly Report216217514605Chief Executive Officer Mario RingSeason 2018 has been another successful year for the SUA. The year started with the SUA affiliating with S.E, Carl Fletcher excepting the Umpire Directors role to help develop umpiring and coaching in the region, and Brett Gent excepting the head coach role with very short notice due to Dennis stepping down. After the final round in 2017, there were changes made for the 2018 with the MNFNL to become a two-tiered comp with a relegation system. SEFNL stayed as a stand-alone competition, and at end of 2018 will be disbanded, and all SEFNL clubs will join the newly formed Outer South Eastern League. As many agree, it is a shame this has happened as this comp has been part of the MPNFL for many years. This leave many questions, on how football will be seen in the years to come. While the junior comps are growing, our U19 and some senior clubs are struggling to field competitive sides. The MPJFL still want to run and administer their own comp, we are not sure what is happing with their umpiring side but hope this will be sorted by end of season and dissolved. Our recruitment of umpires this year has not been good as previous years, our goal umpires were down considerably, with many people were asked to do up to three games per week. We did manage the recruitment of many younger umpires from local football clubs, these young ones will be the future of the association, but we still need the older senior umpires to help guide these young ones. The umpiring department has done another outstanding job this year, it is not an easy job to do. With all the changes going on within the leagues, these guys kept everyone on their toes. They made sure that we did the job we were meant to do, and that was officiate our games the best we can. At times we were stretched to the limit, but all games were filled by some umpires doubling up on games over the weekends and week days. We have highlighted to S.E, that the drive and recruitment of umpires is a must and be a high priority for the 2019 season as this is part of our agreement. Coaching programmes, training, observers to help coaches and umpires must also increase, and has also been highlighted as a priority. The first year was always going to be a settling in year with the new arrangement with S.E, now we can see what areas need the most attention and deal with them head on. I am sure now things have settled down with the leagues, the new two-tier structure the umpiring area will become more a focal point to make sure numbers and coaching stay strong. This will be reviewed throughout the season, with feedback being given to S.E for any adjustments to be made. It was with great pleasure the association was again asked to go the King Island, and help umpire their preliminary, and senior Grand Final. This is now the third season the SUA has sent umpires down to King Island, we also use this as a great opportunity to send young umpires who just miss on a grand final and give them the experience of running a Grand Final. The footy may not be to the standard e are used to, but the Island do take their footy seriously. Throughout the season there are many charity games going on around the Peninsula, and it is also great to see so many umpires giving up their time to officiate these games at no cost to the charity. Another great achievement for the Southern Umpires Association, is that we will be celebrating 60 years of the SUA. We will be looking at way to celebrate this great achievement, to bring together our new, existing and life members.As Chairman it has been a very busy year for me and Deputy Bernie Carroll, with many changes and challenges. We cannot become complacent, as there will be many more changes and challenges in 2019. We will continually meet with the S.E Commission, to make sure we are both heading in the right direction and the SUA has a strong voice. The benefits will come, but we must all work together. As many of you have said, the non-negotiables will be our values, Integrity. Fairness and most important our heritage. This will make sure we stay leaders in our field and continue to grow and become a major hub for umpiring bodies. We will keep members informed as things begin to happen, through our communications email. We are still waiting to hear from S.E, about the opportunities to help with officiating games with the new formed Outer South East. I am hoping by the AGM, will have more to tell everyone.On a final note, I would like to thank my board members for all their time and commitment throughout the year. I would also like to thank all the running umpires, coaches, parents and partners for their commitment and support through the year. As chairman I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and safe New Year. I look forward to seeing everyone early January next year, getting ready to go for the season launch. Deputy Chairman Bernie CarrollOngoing structural changes within the AFLSE Regional Administration area senior football competitions has characterised the local football landscape for several years, particularly during the 2017-18 Calendar year which has seen the demise of the South East Football League and the movement of 9 senior clubs to neighbouring AFL Administration areas.Throughout this period the SUA continued to provide high quality umpiring services to all competitions within its auspice whilst strengthening relationships with the AFLSE via a Collaboration Strategy entered during 2018 with the following key features.SUA to retain Identity with reduced scope of responsibilityIncome to be derived from compulsory Membership fee which will be allocated to SUA direct Administration, Retention, Social and Welfare costsProvide a social program to cater for all members including Life Member ProgramRegional Administration Commission FunctionsHire suitably qualified and experienced Head of Umpiring to service the RAC Umpire fraternity with a focus on – Coaching and RecruitmentPay all Match Day paymentsProvide Match Day attire – Off Field attire to be provided by SUAPay all relevant affiliation feesDuring the latter part of 2017 the SUA Office of Chairman along with AFLSE Executives conducted an exhaustive Recruitment program which attracted many high calibre candidates. Experienced AFL NSW administrator Carl Fletcher was appointed to the newly created AFLSE Head of Umpiring Role and commenced in February 2018.The alliance strategy has provided several positive outcomes with improved Match Payment processes, alignment with the South East Junior Umpires and additional umpire administration resources however operational distractions have resulted in delayed Recruitment and Coaching outcomes.The challenge for both the SUA and the AFLSE is to maximise the opportunities afforded by the addition of a full time RAC Umpire resource to further develop and expand Umpiring within the region.A significant achievement for the 2018 season has been the repairs and upgrade to the Kananaook training ground and lights with acknowledgement to the Frankston council and the guidance of Board Member Michael Craighead.On a personal note, following eight years Board Service l will not be seeking re-election due to increasing business commitments however look forward to maintaining a connection with the SUA as an active “Remote” whether that be the Yarra Valley or the Peninsula.l thank the members and fellow Board colleagues for their support and would like to acknowledge the contribution of current Chairman Mario Ring and former Finance Director Frank Witting with whom l worked closely, for their outstanding contribution to the SUA over many years.l have been fortunate to have belonged to four umpire groups across two states over 30 years and it’s the SUA which has provided the greatest connection due to the wonderful comradery. l am particularly grateful and honoured to have been awarded SUA Life Membership.l wish the incoming Board and the members all the best for the future.BackgroundIn 2013 the AFL established independent governance boards focused on the development and management of football within Metropolitan and Country Regional Administration Commission areas (RAC).There has been a significant shift away from voluntary self-management model to an AFL sanctioned Direct Management Model (DMM)Since 2016 the SUA has been in discussion with the AFL South East Commission (AFSE)….To consolidate RAC Umpire Resources under the one RAC management structure andTo provide for additional full-time resources and higher levels of coaching and development support To achieve the following outcomesAFLSE Head of Umpiring (HOU) – Full time funded from the funds generated from Regional Umpiring Activities High Level Umpire Coaching Resources (joint HOU role)Enhanced recruitment initiatives including School based Umpire AcademiesStreamlined administration (Financial) services via existing RAC employeesThroughout discussions the SUA has maintained a position that any changes to the SUA Governance structure should include minimum outcomes that provideAn adaptable organisational / governance structure That is responsive to and able to meet the RAC local landscape and conditions With respect to the history, heritage, traditions of the SUA That recognises the SUA’s contribution to and involvement with football in the RACThat will be characterised by key outcomes Resources – full time development staff dedicated to the development of UmpiringFinancial – SUA annual net operating result similar to currently achievedCoaching – demonstrated high level experience / competenciesAdvocacy – SUA representation on the RACGovernance –retention of / ongoing SUA self-management and identityA recruitment process undertaken by the RAC in Jan/ Feb 2017 failed to identify a suitable HOA candidate and the decision was made to maintain the status quo in 2017 and resume discussions post season.Post Season 2017 The RAC distributed a revised Heads of Agreement document which was discussed and rejected at the SUA October Board meeting (attended by representatives from AFLSE)The RAC has made it clear that if a negotiated position cannot be reached 2018 Service Level agreements with the SUA will be significantly altered. The Office of Chairman attended a Umpire management Conference attended by 8 Country Umpire Associations which provided the following insightsThe AFL is committed to the DMM which to be implemented by 2019 with or without local group supportIntroduction of RAC Umpire DMM is 100% advanced in Metropolitan RACs and 60-70% in Country RACsOutcomes of DMM is variable and dependent upon calibre of HOA incumbent and varies in line with local conditionsOne major Association has levied an annual membership of $100 as there is minimal financial support from the RAC The SUA has more in common with metropolitan associations then country due to size and scope of coverage By 2019 the RAC’s will govern all Football and Umpiring bodies via Affiliation directly with local RAC’s, in the case of the SUA, AFL South East to achieve amongst others two significant aims that impact on the SUATiered Football Competitions with elements of promotion and relegation within RAC area andConsolidation of RAC Umpiring Bodies into a Direct Management Model as opposed to a Volunteer Model Shortly following the October Board meeting, the RAC General Manager contacted the Office of Chairman with the suggestion that negotiations November 2017 agreement document be re-visited as a platform for progression. On this basis an advertisement for the AFLSE HOU role has been re-advertised.SUA 2018 and Beyond - attached table outlines existing and proposed functionsThe SUA has currently negotiated a position with the following key features agreed.

The pooling of resources will result in a wider scope of umping opportunities in the region and beyond, full time umpire support personnel, access to high level coaching, clearly defined pathways through to elite and additional recruitment opportunities.On behalf of SUA members the Office of Chairman has been in discussions with the ALF South East Commission to re-negotiate service level arrangements with the aim of influencing the re-structuring of umpiring within the commission region to achieve the To ensure that SUA members are well placed to maximise benefit of new resources and opportunities whilst maintaining as a minimum existing benefitTo maintain a pre-eminent place for the SUA within the local and wider football community and To obtain a SUA member Board position on the South-East commission to provide Advocacy and feedback now and into the future.Additional information regarding the proposed direction will be provided to members as part of the Annual General Meeting information package.Regional Director of Umpiring– AFL South EastCarl Fletcher2018 was the start of a new era for umpiring within the AFL South East Commission. After ongoing negotiations with the Southern Umpires Association (SUA), agreement was reached for AFL South East to manage umpiring including the strategy, coaching, appointments, umpire payments and development of umpiring within the region. The SUA would continue to play an important part for their members with a focus on the social and welfare aspects of the group. With this new agreement in place I was appointed and started work in early February as the Regional Director of Umpiring to oversee umpiring management across the MPNFL, SEFNL, SEWFL, FDJ, SEJ & MPJ Leagues. During March a further appointment was made by the commission with Leigh Buwalda appointed as the Umpire Development Officer to provide additional support to the umpiring space. With Leigh coming on board Rod Hamilton who previously managed SEJ Umpiring moved into the role of SEWF Leagues Manager. All umpiring groups throughout the region started their official training across the month of February. The Senior umpiring group continued their training twice a week on Monday and Wednesday evenings at Kananook Reserve, the traditional home of the SUA. This year on Monday nights Senior umpires still participated in fitness and conditioning led by Josh Chenoweth, while new junior umpires participated in specific junior training. Dedicated training for the juniors was promoted to all Frankston Juniors clubs and with that 21 new umpires got involved regularly attending the training sessions. The Senior Umpires South East training base moved from Fountain Gate to Carlisle Park in Cranbourne to create a closer link with the South East Juniors. Carlisle Park is a synthetic all-weather surface with new modern rooms and proved to be a quality training venue for all umpires. This change brought about strong training numbers on a Monday night and a clearer pathway for the juniors to progress to seniors. The Wednesday night training had poor training attendance, and it will be important to boost our recruitment and work closely with the South East Juniors to build this training base going forwards. The SUA have also had a training base at Rye Football Club for a number of years. This group continued in 2018 providing training to local junior umpires for the MPJ and also for senior umpires that lived down the peninsula. We thank Scott Gathercole and the Rye Football Club for their continued support of this group in allowing access to the club’s facility. With four training locations and six leagues to service the umpiring groups are well serviced by dedicated coaches and volunteers. The Senior Umpiring group were led by Dave Golby as Head Coach, with Adam Holland leading the Boundary Umpires and Troy Bellchambers leading the Goal Umpires. This year there were changes to the senior Field umpire coaching with Brett Gent leading the group at Kananook and Dale Armstrong at Carlisle Park. In our Junior Leagues a new coaching structure was put in place for the Frankston Juniors with Trevor Allen managing the appointments, while Wes Mann and Gary Hofert led the Monday night coaching sessions. Scott Gathercole continued to manage the Rye training base for junior and senior umpires down the peninsula, while Scott also managed the Youth Appointments for the MPJ as part of the Service Agreement in place with the MPJ League. These people do an outstanding job throughout the year to service over 3,300 home and away matches across the region. They are also further supported by assistant coaches, match day observers, mentors, tribunal advocates and other key support staff throughout the year. I take this chance to thank each and every coach and volunteer that supported umpiring throughout the region. This year the umpiring group was lucky enough to have some AFL umpires visit the group as part of the Community Umpiring Round. AFL Umpires Shane McInerney, Chris Gordon, Hayden Gavine, Ray Chamberlain and Craig Fleer visited the Kananook and Carlisle Park training bases in May. On the night the umpires conducted training drills for the umpires and also participated in a question and answer session to share their stories of umpiring on the big stage and their memories of umpiring community football, including what it takes to make it the AFL. The umpiring group was also lucky to welcome back umpires from the VFL on occasion through the year who helped with training.Recruitment of umpires will be a big focus as we move forwards. Currently the region has over 550 active umpires servicing the various competitions. The SUA is made up of over 350 active members and growing closer links with the junior competitions will be a critical link to seeing our umpire numbers grow. Recruitment through junior clubs and high schools will be an important element as we look to grow our numbers to provide improved service and reduce the load on some umpires that umpire up to five or more games a weekend. Along with servicing our local competitions, many umpires also had the opportunity this year to umpire school matches along with trial matches for St Kilda, Melbourne and Dandenong Stingrays various talent programs. The talent pathway for umpires is an exciting one with the opportunity to progress towards the VFL/AFL and participate in local and state representative matches. The V-Line Umpire Academy has been a successful program for many years that provides umpires with additional training and support to progress along the umpire talent pathway. This year 34 umpires were selected in the program across Field, Boundary and Goal umpiring. The program involved four training nights from February to May, with 13 umpires then selected to umpire in the Senior Interleague matches held in May. Through strong performances Hugh Tatman, Zane Whitelaw & Zach Mousaco were then selected to umpire in the Under 19’s & Senior Representative matches between Metro & Country in Ballarat in July. The Junior Interleague was also a great opportunity for our talented junior umpires over the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend. Many umpires from across the region were involved over the three days and received coaching to help them continue their development towards senior football. The final representative opportunity of the year involved five local umpires in Josh Dudman Doyle, Kyle Van Raay, Zachary Mousaco, Jye Stannage and Jack Buller umpiring at the V-Line Championships held in Moe, Morwell & Traralgon during AFL Grand Final week. Josh, Kyle, Zachary and Jack were also named amongst the umpires of the carnival for strong performances across the week. After successful seasons this year three umpires have been nominated to trial for the VFL in 2019. Boundary umpires Chris Cato, Zachary Mousaco and Zane Whitelaw will have a busy off season as they push themselves to be as fit as possible for possible selection onto the VFL Development List.This year a new initiative was introduced to recognise a Senior Field Umpire in the Senior Football Team of the Year. James O’Hagan was recognised for the SEFNL Team and Rick Taig was selected in the MPNFL team of the year for outstanding seasons. This year a special Appointments and Awards night was also organised for the FDJ Grand Final Appointments. On the night three awards were presented along with the Grand Final Appointments. The SUA supported the night providing food and drinks for the umpires in attendance. The SUA held their annual Grand Final Appointments night on Wednesday 5th September. The night was a great success with a guest speaker in David Schwartz before the Grand Final Appointments for the MPJ, SEFNL and MPNFL were announced. This year was a new beginning for umpiring in AFL South East with the changes to the management of umpiring throughout the region. I want to thank the SUA for their support of the changes and working with AFL South East to work towards growing umpiring together going forwards. I also want to thank all our umpires, coaches, volunteers and clubs for their support of umpiring this year. Thanks also to AFLSE Staff and Commissioners for their support and guidance, while I would particularly like to thank Leigh Buwalda, Therese Trezise, Shaun Connell, John Anderson and each of the League Operation Managers for their assistance in supporting the development of an Umpiring Department to service the Commission. Head of Operations – Merchandise Scott GathercoleThis year was my first as merchandise man and to say that I now respect G Mac a lot more is an understatement, the ordering of apparel and its arrival was always a battle. We introduced a few new items (caps) this year and we will continue to introduce more over the next few years.I would like to thank Tammy for all her help throughout the season. With South east taking over on field as of next year we will have less apparel left over.All the best for the Christmas season and we’ll see you next season.Head of Operations – Events & SocialMatt CraigAnother successful for the SUA with events providing to the members several different events to attend including:The Season launch, always a good night for members new and old to get to know the ins and outs of the SUA.An early season pizza and footy night. The annual golf day, The trivia night – always a huge success with thanks to Tony HalesTen pin Bowling – always a bit of fun, this year both FG and Seaford joining in together.Grand final appointments night – huge success once again with guest speaker David Schwarz a fantastic hit amongst all of the crowd.Presentation night another success going off ticket sales we were expecting 190, would’ve ended up about 160ish at a guess. Food was good, music good and all very deserving award winners – congrats to all.The events of the SUA is something I believe we can really build on going forward, obviously the season launch, presentation night and grand final appointments night are well attended by default the are premier nights. Outside of these nights the next best is the trivia night. Personally, I would love to see the rest of the events offered by the SUA equally well supported, I believe there is nothing better than catching up with mates that you umpire with for a round of golf or to watch some footy with a bit of pizza or even substitute training night with a bit of a fun in ten pin bowling.I will increase promotion of these events in 2019 and hopefully we will see numbers increase…. Also, in 2019 the SUA will be planning for a big event the 60th birthday will be held with further details to come on that evening, but no doubt will be a good night and rightfully a big celebration.I am up for nomination this AGM so hopefully I see you all again in 2019 whether it be organizing events or some other role on the board.Head of Operations – HR & OH&SJosh Chenoweth2018 brought a new structure for our members with AFLSE taking on all umpiring operations matters from appointing coaches to injury management. Early days we saw some challenges around the management of injuries, however in the end all was covered and worked out well for all parties concerned.We will be reviewing injury management and making some changes for the 2019 season (if and when) required in conjunction with AFLSE.On the HR front we had a relative issue free season which has been a god send compared to other years.We have turned our focus to more umpire/member welfare which will see some exciting things happening for the upcoming 2019 season.Again, I ask everyone to review our operations manual around codes of conduct etc especially social media before we kick off preseason for 2019.Thank you all for your efforts in 2018 and making the SUA the great place it is today!Head of Operations – IT & TelecommunicationsLuke ShawAs part of my first year on the board and being a part of the Association in an official capacity I wanted to continue growing the digital footprint developed under the guidance of Rick Taig. With an increased focus on regular and engaging content primarily on our Facebook page, then syndicated to Twitter. Facebook remains the fastest growing content-based tool we have with increasing visits, likes and comments. This trend matches national and international trends for local sporting clubs looking to engage with their membership and give clear and centralised information via social media. There was no investment in paid ads or boosted posts and shared content growth was organic and driven by interest rather than segmented or targeted advertising. Social media interactions continued to grow rapidly with a 18% growth year on year across all platforms. Our Facebook page now sits at over 648 likes and 650+ followers. Posts were scheduled for prime viewing for our page - before 7am or between 3:30pm-8:00pm. Additional loaded content from Robyn Young included archived old photos which continue to drive interest and I thank her for the support and effort involved in sharing.There were very few online comments that did not portray the SUA in a positive light and shares and interaction with other Australian and International Umpiring Associations continue to help promote the SUA and umpiring in general.Each post averaged a reach of over 1500 with scheduled posting help drive attendance and awareness of events. The website remains a cheap, effective tool for data storage and historical information but requires an overhaul, as highlighted in previous reports. Initial scoping work was begun this year with Deputy Chair Bernie and the team at Blooomtools to deliver a sharper and more interactive online experience via the website for Southern Umpires in 2019.I would like to thank all members for their support and interactions online in 2018 and encourage the engagement and positive reinforcement of our association to the wider community. We will be leveraging the images and comments of 2018 to help drive recruitment into next season.Head of Operations – Facilities & LicensingMichael CraigheadNo Report Provided.Michael left the Association in June 2018 to move overseas. His role was shared across the Chairman, Deputy and Finance leaders.Head of Operations – South EastPhil KerfordNo report provided.Head of Operations – Communications & PRAndrew MacDonaldNo report provided.Head of Operations – UmpiringDavid GolbyThe most significant change this year regarding Coaching structure was the management of the Junior Field umpires for the Frankston Districts competition.Training on Monday nights was regularly attended, and numbers were up from the previous year.Well done to Trev Allen and his team who mentored the young umpires throughout the year and put so much content into training to make it fun. Made possible with extra resourcing put into the Coaching structure.Next year we must review the structure for the MPJFL Junior Field umpires and make sure Scott Gathercole gets the same support to continue with the development of our Junior umpires.Again, if Senior umpires want to be involved with training or mentoring Juniors, please let Trevor, Scott or Carl know of your intentions.With respect to our Senior group, we are still lacking in observers for Senior Field umpires. Throughout the year we relied heavily on the Coaching staff and the services of Neill McKinnon. With Neill’s departure interstate we must recruit at least one capable observer per competition to work in conjunction with Coaches to provide match day feedback to our umpires.Consistent game day observations will contribute more to umpire development, training and umpire rankings through the year. On structure and Field umpiring we again started the year with a recently appointed Head Coach/s.Not an enviable position to be in, but all credit to Brett and Dale who managed both groups throughout the year and finished with strong finals panels for all three competitions. Next year we must continue to build on what was achieved this year. With more skills content on training nights, a structured indoor program and regular match day observations all laying the foundation for better umpire development.Looking at this year’s field umpires we have a good blend of experience and youth to continue to build on our Senior list. So, the challenge is to match that with a program which supports the development of umpiring and rewards the efforts and competencies of our umpires.Boundary Coaching ran smoothly again this year under the Leadership of Adam Holland. Along with training support at Seaford and Carlisle Park, match day observations were readily attended to from Marcus and Phil, and a few of the more senior umpires. A great model to take Boundary Coaching forward for years to come. With good numbers now for quite a few years, it’s time to tweak the culture and get the younger umpires to a ‘Commitment’ night along with Mum and Dad and share the Coaches expectations along with communication and timing of match day availability.Having had a stint in the Goals this year and experienced first-hand the Coaching content, I congratulate Troy and his Team on a job well done. The group is inclusive, training is both informative and fun and umpires supported each other throughout match days and both Junior and Senior finals. Whilst the Goal umpires list is not huge, the commitment and respect they show to their Coach is. Nearly all the goalies can be relied upon to umpire 2 games each weekend through some ordinary conditions. Next year we need to recruit more Goal umpires. So, if you have a friend, relative, ex footballer or just someone with a passion to umpire, please send them along to meet Troy and the Team.Training, next year this needs to change for a lot of our group. I don’t think it is adequate that people think training should only take an hour. If the expectation on the Coaching group is to put more structure and content into developing training programs, then umpires must have the dedication to commit to executing them. That takes more than an hour on a Wednesday night. Having said that, thank you to all the umpire who regularly attended training and had a crack.We must set the expectation that umpires will be actively involved on Wednesday night from 6.00pm through to around 8.00pm. This will include track work, skill drills, the indoor aspect and general communication. Something that we also need to keep up to date is umpire accreditation which will again be included in next year’s sessions. Lastly if some of you hadn’t noticed, this was our first year the Coaching structure came under the Management of the AFL South East. As with every change some of the expectations aren’t met or are unclear or misunderstood, and distractions can easily take over. My view on any structure we employ is simple, our Coaching staff and Structure is there to develop and engage people to become better umpires. Having fun and how far we get is an outcome of that and a lot of hard work and personal dedication.Thank you to all the Umpires, Coaches and volunteers who made our Association such a great group to be involved with. Field UmpiringBrett Gent – CoachThe season started behind the 8 ball, so it was going to be a tough start to the season. We lacked numbers and quality, so I decided to get back to basics with doing skills drills a lot more then fitness which I think helped a lot of umpires early. I was concentrating on young guys and new guys and had a 4-6 weeks plan in getting them better early. As the season was well underway things were going along well but a lot of improvement were still needed, but it was tough as there wasn’t really any support around on game day!We had some young guys coming along really well and soon they were umpiring senior football which is a great effort! Finals are approaching and think things are going ok, I think the finals went pretty well considering it was a long tough year for all. But as I said at presentation night the Div 1 Grand Final was a fantastic game to finish the year with all umpires in total umpired 35 Grand Finals! Thanks to everyone who help out with double ups at late notice throughout the year.Looking forward to next season a big positive is the young guys are keen as mustard to have another big year and making SUA a bigger and better place to be. Boundary UmpiringAdam Holland – CoachThis year I stepped away from umpiring senior games and finals. It was a year of firsts for our group, with a new assistant coach in Chris Cato who brought in a lot of knowledge and experience in boundary umpiring. With a focus on development and fitness we took control of their running at training and worked hard in improving their fitness to help them run out games. With the help of Chris Cato and Shaun Penny we had a good plan each week, the development of the umpires was showing real quick with the umpires that were training.We pushed hard for umpires to get to training this year and we rewarded the umpires that trained week in week out. With the training base moved to Carlisle Park we saw a big drop in numbers every week. With South East Juniors also training there we never got full control of our squad and run the drills we would have like to. I would like to see the SE training moved back to Fountain Gate as it is the central point of SEFNL.This year we decided to bring in a scoring system to help rank our senior umpires. The reason we did this was I wanted to take the opinion out of selecting Grand Final umpires. With having 3 observers we got to see around 6 to 9 senior umpires a weekend. Every senior umpire got observed 3 times with the top 22 seen 4 times before finals. We found this worked well. We had plenty of numbers once again this year at Seaford 105. We did see a drop out at SE 27. We have 51 umpires run senior games. We run 3 umpires in most under 19s and reserves games. We had limited senior games with 3 umpires.Finals this year was a tough task. With MPJFL creating twice as many games in finals meant we had more games to fill. With 70% of my list playing junior finals this made it hard to fill all games. With week one have 40 declined games. I would like to thank all the umpires that umpired multiple games over the 6 weeks of junior finals.Seniors finals was an exciting time with 22 senior umpires fighting for 9 spots. We saw our young umpires shine when it mattered. We sore umpires who trained rewarded come finals time. With every umpire who umpired a grand final have training attendance in the top 30% of umpires.To me this year was a huge step forward as a boundary umpiring group. Everything we wanted to achieve this year we did. It wouldn’t have been possible without the help of my amazing coaching group, so a thank you for all of the hours and hard work goes out to our game day coaches Phill Howard and Marcus Arrowsmith. To my two assistance Chris Cato and Matt Craig, their work has been above of what I could have ask for.Also a congratulations goes to former SUA boundary umpire Josh Fuhrman on making the AFL List.Goal UmpiringTroy Bellchambers - CoachSeason 2018 saw a challenge that was aimed at the whole squad which was duly accepted, where all the top spots were up for grabs and certainly within reach of everyone. With 55 umpires on our list, unavailability were high at the start of the season so right off the bat umpires were asked to do multiple games a day and everyone stepped up to help.This season we welcomed 5 new members to the squad. We also had 6 returning umpires from one or two seasons out.A huge thank you must go out to all the support staff. Firstly, Brett Manion in his first season stepping up as Assistant Coach. Brett with his experience and knowledge of goal umpiring was a huge asset to the squad.Also to the observers this season. Steve Richards, Brad Kellett, Glenn Proebstl and David Miles a big thanks to you all for your commitment throughout the year.This season we had 5 umpires achieve the ultimate of umpiring senior football, with quite a number in line for next season. The prospects are looking bright for the SUA goal squad.Junior Field UmpiringScott Gathercole – CoachWhat a great year it was, with a lot of junior umpires now doing senior games it makes me very happy that these young guys are getting the opportunity they deserve. With only around 30 umpires to choose from each week we had many doing multiple games each week. A big thank you to a few who did multiple games each week including Friday nights and Sunday:Terry HolmesMick FallonDwayne Barton Damian Thomas Chris Thomas) This year saw almost 100 games over the finals in the MPJFL and we were able to give everyone a chance to do finals and many getting grand finals for the first time.It was a great to see Jackson Hannah doing his first U/17 Grand Final, being named MPJFL SUA Junior umpire of the year. He has a lot of potential as an umpire and next year will progress into seniors. Our best first year umpire went to a young guy who joined us just after the start of the season and the way he improved throughout the season will see him also join the ranks of senior umpires in the near future, so well-done Jaxon Fraser. I forgot to mention at the presentation night I wanted to congratulate the girls who did the U/18 girls grand finals it was great to be able to give the girls from FDJFL a game. So, a big well done to them. Next year is almost upon us again so if you know anyone who wants to umpire junior then let me know.Lastly a big thank you to the Rye football club for their continued support of my umpiring group in the south.Til next season0-8890Finance Report & Statements00Finance Report & Statements203835020955Head of Operations – FinanceTammy PeckSeason 2018 has been a different one to those in the past. As arranged we were working with AFL South East (AFLSE) in an agreement that saw the AFLSE take over the payment of umpires and invoicing the league along with the management of coaching staff and work cover insurance.Due to these changes we did not have the profitable year of last year. As of the 20th November we have $135,590.52 in the bank with a cheque still clearing of $2670.29 brining a total of $138,260.76There are still bills for waste removal and phone lines due to be paid which will be completed by the end of November.The association for our financial year has made a loss of $32,465.00Contributing factors to this result have been:Reduction of income due to the new arrangements with AFL SEReduction in the number of games we supplied umpires to. Last year we covered most of the AFLSE Women’s competition where this year the AFLSE appointed other umpires from different associations.With the changes from the AFLSE we had some contracts that we were still bound to until the end of the season and thus we are now in a position to re-negotiate them and reducing costs to the association. The main contracts were for phones and waste removal.I would like to take the time to thank Robyn and Rodney Young (and family) for all the work they do behind the bar, their time and commitment is invaluable to me and the association.I would also like to thank Mario Ring and Bernie Carrol for all the work they do behind the scenes on a weekly basis and wish Bernie luck on his future away from the mittee’s 2018 Financial ReportIncome StatementBalance SheetNotes to the Financial StatementsStatement by Members of the CommitteeIndependent Auditor’s ReportCertificate by Members of the CommitteeProfit and Loss Statement0-8890Umpire Awards & Grand Final Appointments00Umpire Awards & Grand Final Appointments196215068853052018 Umpire AwardsRon Moore Memorial Best Clubman – Golden Whistle Award – Zachary MousacoFemale Recognition Award – Emma YoungRay Thompson Training AwardsSeaford – Brian StannageFountain Gate – James CavverField UmpiresUmpire of the Year – Rick TaigCoaches Award:Seaford – Sam DuewelCarlisle ParkKyle van RaayBest First Year:Seaford -
