AFL Insights

Umpire analytics

Umpire directory

Match counts come from lined historical matches. Fortunate and unfortunate teams come from shrunk residual margin, with free-kick differential and upset likelihood shown as side context.

Retired filter

Showing active umpires only

Retired means no officiated match since 1 Aug 2025, or missing both AFLUA link and shirt number. Active 42 · retired 58.

Directory rule

Top 3 only

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

Low-confidence band

4-6 matches

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

Vic lean set
