The Carlton lads should each be getting a game, Hawkins should have got 2, that's the problem for mine. The bar was set incorrectly with Hawkins, and now they want to give the Curnow boys less, but can't find a reasonable level.
It's simple, don't touch the umpire.

They can easily make their points from a couple of metres or more away.
I'm suprised one hasn't been snotted for a while (thinking back to Williams, Muir and Carman).
No excuse for anyone but isn't prevention better than cure?
What advantage do umpires have by running into an area within a metre of a player?
I notice in some sports they practise the opposite.

Are you referring to "in play" on your first point? Or the second highlighted point for that matter?

They sort of are forced to be up close at the stoppages, they ball it up and try to get out of there as quick as possible, they also need to be of reasonable distance for the players to hear their calls over the crowd.
In general play you're taught and instructed to call the play from a distance and obtain the best vantage point, the beauty of having three umpires out there is most angles should be covered.
I know on a personal note that I tend to get too close to the action, playing the game for so long I can read the play really well and get to where the ball is going plus I like to make the correct call in a pack-like situation.
I've nearly lost my shit at ball ups though, a brush past as you've thrown it up and trying to get out the way is understandable from time to time, there's been a few instances of heavy contact while I'm unbraced and running backwards, had it twice in the one game by the same player, I felt like cracking him.

Its when they've made a decision, and play is about to progress or has progressed but they still feel the need to get in players faces from a distwnce yapping away when they could remain at a distance.

Setting the mark perhaps?
I'll be more observant on it as I thought they generally run backwards pretty quick to get away from the zone.
I don't mind them yapping, players whinge a lot and there's nothing wrong with them clarifying their decision.
I guess some (Razor) doesn't mind getting in their faces.
