Club umpires | AFL Tipping

Umpire analytics

Club-first umpire view

Each club gets its favourite umpires and least-favourite umpires based on long-run residual margin performance.

Retired filter

Showing active umpires only

Retired means no officiated match since 1 Aug 2025, or missing both AFLUA link and shirt number. Active 40 · retired 28.

Ranking rule

4 lined matches

Favourite and least-favourite lists only rank umpire-club pairs that clear the minimum sample.

Low-confidence band

4-6 matches

Those umpire rows stay visible, but are deliberately muted.

Best and worst only

Free-kick side stat

Free-kick differential

Positive means the listed club received more frees than its opponent in that umpire sample. Negative means fewer.
