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 />
