THE WHISTLEBLOWERS<br />

<strong>EFL</strong> SECURES MORE AFL TALENT<br />

The <strong>EFL</strong> is pleased to announce that current AFL goal<br />

umpire Chelsea Roffey will become the <strong>EFL</strong>’s goal<br />

umpiring ambassador.<br />

We have identifi ed that there is huge potential for more<br />

young people to become involved in goal umpiring<br />

next season and we think Chelsea will be an excellent<br />

advocate to help in this area. We also think that gaol<br />

umpiring is a great way to get more females involved<br />

in umpiring and follow the lead of Chelsea and possibly<br />

follow her pathway the to ‘G. in her role Chelsea will<br />

assist in the recruitment and coaching of a new wave of<br />

goal umpires for season 2012.<br />

The <strong>EFL</strong> currently has 18 goal umpires 21 years<br />

of age or under and we would like to increase those<br />

numbers signifi cantly next season. Goal umpiring is<br />

a fantastic place to watch a game of footy from and<br />

also be involved in our great game. There is a lot more<br />

involved in goal umpiring than just waving the fl ags<br />

and we are confi dent that once these new umpires<br />

take up the challenge they will thoroughly enjoy the<br />

experience and challenges that goal umpiring presents.<br />

“Goal umpiring teaches you skills that hold you in great<br />

stead for other aspects of life,” Chelsea says.<br />

“You learn to juggle several tasks at once as you read<br />

the play, move to the best position to view the ball<br />

and focus at the crucial moment. It teaches you about<br />

handling scrutiny and being accountable for your<br />

actions, communication and teamwork, being assertive,<br />

and having the confi dence to back your judgement.”<br />

“The constant challenges of making decisions under<br />

pressure and shutting out external distractions are<br />

hugely rewarding when mastered.<br />

“I think a lot of people would be surprised at how<br />

challenging it can be. And, of course, there’s the thrill<br />

of having the best seat in the house. With a close game<br />

and magical skills on display, there’s no place I’d<br />

rather be.”<br />

Chelsea joins Scott McLaren (<strong>EFL</strong> Rookie Squad<br />

Coach) and Michael Jennings (<strong>EFL</strong> Umpiring<br />

Academy Ambassador) as part of the <strong>EFL</strong> Umpires’<br />

mentoring panel.<br />
