Incorrect umpire names in AFL Tables data

[neilfws]

There is an issue with some of the umpire names in the output from get_afltables_stats().

See the value column in the output below, which should contain an umpire name. The affected values contain digits and other text.

library(fitzRoy)
library(dplyr)

afldata <- get_afltables_stats()

afldata %>% 
  distinct(Date, Local.start.time, Venue, Home.team, Away.team, Umpire.1, Umpire.2, Umpire.3, Umpire.4) %>% 
  pivot_longer(cols = starts_with("Ump")) %>% 
  filter(value != "") %>% 
  mutate(value = trimws(value)) %>%
  filter(str_detect(value, "\\d"))

Result:

# A tibble: 17 × 7
   Date       Local.start.time Venue             Home.team              Away.team              name     value                      
   <date>                <int> <chr>             <chr>                  <chr>                  <chr>    <chr>

I also just noticed another form of incorrect value for Umpire.1:

2017-04-09             1640 Carrara       Gold Coast Hawthorn  Umpire.1 Current holder
