Frankston have broken their drought after 24 consecutive losses, shocking Richmond with a breakthrough 13-point win at Frankston Oval on Saturday.

It was the first win for coach Patrick Hill as coach of the Dolphins - who went through a winless season for the first time in the club's history last year - and their first since they defeated Collingwood in round 16, 2014.

The former Box Hill assistant said he felt a mixture of emotions when the siren rang, but was particularly upbeat about the way the Dolphins managed to win. They had trailed by 29 points at the first change.

Four field umpires will work VFL games in the first half of the 2016 season

FOUR field umpires will work VFL games this season in a possible forerunner to an extra official being brought in for AFL matches in 2017.

The four-umpire system will operate in the state league for one match per round in the first 10 rounds.

Clubs will be briefed about it at a VFL general managers’ meeting at AFL Victoria tomorrow.

The AFL has announced that four umpires will handle games in the split rounds of this year’s home-and-away fixture.

The system was tested in a handful of league matches last year.

“It’s a trial thing for us. The AFL have tried it. They’re continuing to have a look at it and may bring it in permanently in the near future,’’ VFL talent manager Cam Nash said today.

We’re just trying to be proactive and getting our guys used to it.

“We’ll do a game a week for the first 10 rounds, see how it goes and then reassess at the halfway mark.’’

Nash said the AFL hadn’t asked AFL Victoria to trial the extra umpire.
