Should women become field umpires in the AFL?

Women umpires are starting to control games in the lower ranks of Australian Rules Football but could they umpire at the elite level?

Cornesy has concerns that women may not have the strength to umpire and bounce the ball at AFL level.

What do you think?

Footy should remain a male domain. God knows we don't have much anymore.

If they can do the job, why not?!

On second thought, maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to have umpires capable of changing their minds...somewhat refreshing.

There is no reason why women who have the appropriate training and experience should do the job. It would add a new dimension to the game.
