Player – Umpires
Best in both worlds
In the history of the Victorian / Australian Football Leagues 85 players have taken up the whistle or the flags and officiated in VFL / AFL matches as umpires.
The most recent is David Rodan who played 185 games with Richmond, Port Adelaide and Melbourne. from 2002-13. He officiated the North Melbourne v. Fremantle clash at the Docklands in July 2017 to cap off a quick rise through the umpiring ranks.
Rodan took up umpiring in late-2015 after retiring from the AFL and while playing suburban football. He progressed to the AFL senior panel in only his second full season.
Listed below are the details of all other player/umpires and their playing and umpiring careers to 2023. Photo: Vic Belcher in South Melbourne uniform

Much more successful on the boundary, he umpired 204 matches including the 1919, 1920, 1922, 1925, 1926 and 1927 Grand Finals. Naismith was part of the 1922 Grand Final boundary and goal umpiring crew that were all ex-VFL players – Dick McKay (B), Jack Monohan (G) and Ernest Jenkins (G).
John O’Loughlin represented Geelong in 1898 and 1901 (22 games; 1 goal) and St.Kilda in 1902 (3 games; 1 goal). In Round 1 1904, he was one of the first eight men appointed as VFL boundary umpires and, for the next 7 seasons, he was a field umpire in the country and a boundary umpire in the VFL. He amassed 91 matches and ran the line in the 1909 Grand Final between South Melbourne and Carlton.
A leading Essendon centreman for seven seasons, Okey was recruited from West Melbourne. He officiated in nine VFL matches in his first season as an umpire before retiring and taking up duties on the Essendon Committee. He later represented the club at the League table and was a State Selector for many years. He remains the only former umpire elected to Life Membership of the VFL for services other than umpiring.
Orchard skippered Geelong in 1914-15 before joining the AIF and serving in France. He was one of the participants in the famous ‘London War match’, representing the 3rd Division. He was well renowned as a centreman and forward. His sporadic senior VFL umpiring career spanned four seasons and encompassed 14 matches.
A member of the famous Collingwood Pannams, Albert F. Pannam played 28 matches between 1907- 09 kicking 12 goals. As a boundary umpire he debuted in 1914 and completed his twelfth and final match in 1921.
From 1897-1901, Pleass was an excellent ruckman for South who had great ball skills and endurance. At the beginning of 1902, he took on umpiring but, after only two matches, he returned to South Melbourne as a player until 1904 when he transferred to Essendon.
The uncle of Essendon great Dick Reynolds, Les left St.Kilda after 30 matches between 1922 and 1924. He became an umpire and, in 1929, was selected to umpire in the VFL senior ranks. The last of his three VFL matches involved his former club and angry Saints followers surrounded the umpires rooms after the game believing he had contributed significantly to their loss.
The first player-goal umpire pathway graduate, Rodan debuted in 2017 having only taken up the flags in 2014 and playing in the district competition during his early umpiring career. As a player he served Richmond from 2002-06 (65 matches), Port Adelaide from 2007-12 (111) and finally Melbourne in 2013 (9) accumulating 131 goals along the way. He was the second AFL goal umpire of Fijian descent and was coached from the outset by the first Fijian, Jason Venkataya.
Harry Rowe played two matches for Melbourne overs seasons 1945 and 1946 after playing in VAFA premiership with Melbourne High School Old Boys. He joined the VFL Senior list of umpires in 1949 and made his VFL senior debut in 1951. The final of his sixteen matches was in 1955.
Making his VFL playing debut aged 28, Sandford played 11 matches for St.Kilda. From 1904 to 1913, based in Geelong, he was a boundary umpire in 83 VFL matches and one of those credited with returning the ball to play by facing away from play and launching it over his head.
Ted Sanneman joined St.Kilda from South Bendigo in 1922 but played only that season before returning to the country. He came back to St.Kilda in 1925 and played seven seasons for 72 matches and 25 goals from a half back flank. Turning his hand to umpiring in 1936 he officiated in four games as a boundary umpire that year and 39 matches as a goal umpire from 1938-41.
Schunke played six matches for Richmond in 1909. This was after he had been a VFL boundary umpire for one season – 1904, the first season that the league used them.
‘Bob’ Sellers played for Haw. for a decade in 98 matches and kicked 65 goals. Ten years after his retirement as a player, in 1944, he began a nine year career as a VFL goal umpire that resulted in 131 VFL matches and made him the final former VFL player to be umpiring until the debut of Mark Fraser in 2005.
Jimmy Shand played forty games and kicked six goals in a four year career with Richmond . Ten years after his VFL playing days he umpired four VFL matches as a boundary umpire.
Between 1911-1916 and 1919-1920 Yorkie Shaw kicked 48 goals in 117 VFL matches for Fitzroy. A rover, he played in the 1913 and 1916 premiership teams. After training with Richmond in pre-season 1922 was listed as a VFL field umpire and umpired primarily in the Mornington Peninsula Football League. In 1923 he umpired his only VFL senior matches .
Teddy Shorten began his VFL umpiring career as a boundary in 1930 and compiled a 12 match total over two seasons. In 1939 he turned to goal umpiring and officiated at 144 matches in the next eleven seasons. He had played for North Melbourne in their last seasons in the VFA and their first year in the VFL. Half way through 1926 he transferred to Essendon and finished the year with five games making a total of eleven.
Fred Sigmont played 6 matches for South Melbourne in the first year of the VFL. As a goal umpire, he was appointed to the 1909 Grand Final amongst his 108 VFL matches between 1908 and 1915
A reliable defender/ruckman from the early days of St.Kilda, Smith was captain of the club in 1901 (replacing Dick McKay), 1903-04 and 1906. In 1907, he started his umpiring career with 14 matches. The next season he returned to St.Kilda until late June when he took up the whistle for the second half of the season. 1909 saw him as coach of the Saints and, a year later, he was back in white. After further coaching stints at St.Kilda (1915 and 1918), he moved to Queensland. He umpired for four seasons in 33 VFL senior matches in the field, two on the boundary and officiated at the 1908 ANFC Carnival. Somewhat of an entrepreneur, his name was often linked with proposed tours of Australian football teams to the United States, but none ever eventuated.
Streckfuss umpired right through the 1920s as a boundary umpire and in 1930 did one year as a goal umpire for a total of 110 VFL matches, eight of which were finals seven on the boundary, one in the goals).
Originally from Warrnambool, Threlfall played eight games in two stints with the Tigers between 1919 and 1924. Between 1929 and 1931 Threlfall umpired 22 VFL matches as a boundary umpire.
Possessed of a fiery temper and attitude to opposition players despite his light frame, Topping was suspended in 1910 for striking South Melbourne’s Herbert Streckfuss . The penalty was the remainder of the season and all of 1911. After serving the suspension, he played a single game in 1912 and, in 1913, he became a VFL field umpire, officiating in three senior matches before returning to Carlton in 1914.
‘Lardie’ Tulloch remains the only man to have captained a League team to a premiership and to have umpired a VFL grand final. Physically tough, he led Collingwood by example as skipper from 1902-04, but his career spanned from 1897 to 1904. As a follower he was amongst the Magpies best in the 1902 grand final and played in the 1903 grand final on the wing. Taking up umpiring in 1905, he was away to a slow start but, by 1907, was appointed to the grand final. Despite umpiring until the end of 1911 it was his last final.
Fred played a single game for St.Kilda after being recruited from Brighton. He also umpired a single VFL match in 1923.
Patriarch of the Twomey dynasty, Bill was a speedy centreline player (fast enough to win the 1924 Stawell Gift) who retired from football aged 22 to focus on a professional athletic career. In 1933 he umpired three matches on the boundary before leaving umpiring to return to playing with Hawthorn for the remainder of 1933 and 1934. He later had an extensive coaching career at VFL, VFL Reserves and country level
Vernon, originally from Western Australia, umpired four VFL matches in the first half of 1912. A half-forward and one of the better players in Collingwood’s 1910 premiership side, he also played in their losing team in 1911.
Played three matches at full-forward for Melbourne, scoring three goals in the process. From 1904-1908 he umpired 35 games as a field umpire and 28 as a boundary. In partnership with John Kennedy, he was one of the first two boundary umpires to officiate in a grand final. Two years later, in 1906, he umpired the grand final as a field umpire, becoming the first man to achieve the ultimate success in two disciplines.

Replacements
Until relatively recent times a replacement was an unlikely occurrence. From 1897 to 1991 only 27 known replacements were made and 16 of those were an emergency field umpire replacing a boundary. The ‘umpire with blood in your boots culture’ is borne out in such a statistic and to some extent backs up the folklore of struggling on through a game and hoping the recovery would be swift enough for them not to lose their place for the following round.
In the modern era under a possibly more enlightened injury and selection regime and perhaps with an eye on longer-term health and therefore career involvement, has led to umpires coming off when in previous years they might have forged on.
The introduction of the emergency goal umpire in home and away matches in 1993 has also provided for specialist replacements. In the modern era having an emergency field umpire step into the goals could prove an awkward (yet interesting) situation. No better example exists than the second ever goal umpire replacement which came in an ANZAC Day draw. There have been 14 goal umpire replacements, Adam Wojcik’s shoulder dislocation in round 9 2021 the last.
Overall Bryan Sheehan is the most replaced umpire. Between 1994 and 2003 he was replaced six times. There have been a number of multiple beneficiaries: Scott Jeffery leads the way, replacing team mates on four occasions; Corin Rowe, Tristan Burgess, Keiron Nicholls, Mark Nash, Scott McLaren and Matt Stevic have come on three times in the field. Colin Hood remains the only goal umpire to come on twice.
In looking at the records I have discovered that for many replacements I have not known or recorded the full details. I know who replaced who but often not at what stage of the game or for what reason. You can help!
Were you replaced or a replacement? Can you remember the circumstances?
Below is a table showing what we know.

Streaks
On Sunday 22 June 1998 Fremantle defeated Carlton 10.16.76 to 10.8.68. Stephen O’Reilly, Chris Bond and Glenn Manton played well, Docker captain, Peter Mann who kicked a team lifting goal from a tight angle but, at the time, it was an unremarkable match. 103 home and away rounds later, it took on a special significance for one of the participants. For field umpire Scott McLaren (left) it was the first game in a record breaking 177 consecutive game streak. McLaren, Brett Allen, Brett Rosebury, Ray Chamberlain, Stephen McBurney and Jack Elder are the only umpires to ever officiate in more than 100 consecutive home and away matches and only 11 other umpires have compiled more than 60 matches in a row at the highest level.
Football has changed much since Elder’s time. Field umpires no longer have to run the ball back to the middle after goals and now there are three of them to administer a game which is rarely mired in mud. Football today moves at a tempo undreamed of prior to the Great War.
Since the beginning of the VFL, form, injuries and selection policy have contributed to umpires’ inability to stretch sequences to substantial lengths. Field umpires have had the greatest opportunities for long runs without a break. At some stage, usually at the height of their careers, the league’s best have managed to show form so good that did not warrant a visit to the country for a long time. In most cases they were also very successful during the finals series of the same period.
Elder’s consecutive run is more remarkable than most. The first match was Geelong v. St.Kilda at Corio Oval on 5 June 1909. Elder was appointed for the next 102 home and away rounds which was remarkable enough but there was more. During this sequence Elder also umpired every final played (19), two matches in the split rounds 9 and 15 1909 and two matches in split round 15 1910. A total of 124 matches in 121 consecutive weeks of league football! He is also the only umpire to have continued a long sequence by umpiring in a different category. The third game of the record sequence (R8 1909) was umpired on the boundary. As a result, the record for a single category was 99 matches as a field umpire until surpassed by McLaren.
Quite different in terms of finals success was Bob Nunn’s string of matches from round 16 1957 to round 8 1962. Nunn officiated in his only finals appointment, the 1962 Second Semi-final, well afterwards. He had been unable to break into the finals panel ahead of such luminaries as Allan Nash, Bill Barbour, Frank Schwab and Jack Irving.
Until very recent seasons, VFL/AFL boundary and goal umpires have never had the opportunity to compile more than five or six games in a row.
Selection policy between 1897 and 2000 shared matches between the members of the respective lists. During the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s the roster was formalised to such an extent that umpires knew that they would be umpiring three weeks in four, with the last week having no football commitments.
In season 2001 the AFL issued a directive that boundary and goal umpires be appointed on the basis their assessment rankings only. Effectively, it meant that the highest ranked umpires had the chance to umpire every week for the first time in VFL/AFL history. This was particularly the case in Victoria where, with the larger list and more matches the directive was more closely followed.
Prior to this directive though, boundary umpire Chris Macdonald did manage a 31 match run from 1995 to 1997 that included five separate rounds in which he umpired two matches – an unprecedented achievement.
Boundary umpire streaks from 2008-2011 have coincided with the introduction of the four-boundary umpire system and led to the three longest streaks being accumulated by John Morris (65), Gerard Large (64) and Mark Foster (62). Another remarkable achievement was Chris Gordon’s run of 59 which were the first 59 matches of his career.
Goal umpire Craig Clark added yet another laurel to his career. No other goal umpire has managed to umpire more than 50 consecutive AFL matches. Clark’s run ended after 54. David Dixon just missed reaching fifty when he was named to the bench after 49 consecutive AFL matches.
The final words about Scott McLaren’s achievement can be left to AFL Director of Umpiring, Jeff Geischen as he congratulated him on behalf of the AFL, “This achievement by Scott is an excellent reward for the commitment he has to umpiring. Scott’s preparation is second to none and it is this professional approach which has enabled him to umpire to a consistently high level over a long period of time.”
