Umpire analytics

Umpire directory

Sample size comes from lined historical matches. Favourite and hated teams come from shrunk residual margin, with free-kick differential as a side stat only.

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.

Directory rule

Top 3 only

Teams need 4 lined matches with an umpire before they can appear in the favourite or hated lists.

Low-confidence band

4-6 matches

Those rows stay visible, but are muted so small samples do not read like certainty.

Victorian bias set

7 clubs

Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond, Geelong, Essendon, Hawthorn, Western Bulldogs
