This weekend, Brett Rosebury will umpire his 10th AFL Grand Final!

We are so proud to call Brett our own as one of the most highly decorated AFL umpires. Hailing from WA, Brett umpired the 1999 and 2000 WAFL Grand Finals. He made his AFL debut in 2000 as the youngest ever AFL field umpire at the time, going on to umpire 7 games that year.

Brett umpired his first AFL Grand Final in 2009, going on to umpire in the 2010 (plus the replay), 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2021 deciders.

Brett was selected as an AFL All-Australian Umpire in 2008, 2009 and 2011. He was awarded the AFLUA Umpire of the Year (the Bishop Shield) in 2008, 2009, 2020, 2021 and 2022. The Bishop Shield is awarded to an umpire who displays on-field success, actively contributes and supports the AFLUA and role models the attributes of commitment, loyalty and dedication. This award is a testament to Brett’s excellence in umpiring but also his wider dedication to the team.

This year, Brett umpired his 650th league game. He remains involved in the WANFLUA, achieving 30 years of service this year.

We are so proud of Brett and his extraordinary career. Congratulations and go well this weekend!

2026 AFL Grand Final Boundary Umpire, Jordan Russell !!

We are so proud of Jordan Russell who has been appointed to his first AFL Grand Final this weekend! He will be the first WA boundary umpire to officiate an AFL Grand Final since Nathan Doig in 2018.

Jordan made his league debut in Round 3, 2018 and ran his first WAFL Grand Final that year. Jordan’s bright start to his umpiring career continued, being awarded the John Devine Medal for boundary umpire of the year from 2019 to 2021 and umpiring the WAFL League Grand Final in each of those years. He also officiated the AFLW Grand Finals in 2019 and 2021.

Jordan made his AFL debut in Round 1, 2022, with heritage number 586. That year, he was awarded the Bill Sutton Medallion for the most promising first or second year boundary umpire.

This weekend will be Jordan’s 10th AFL final, a testament to his consistent excellence. Go well Jordan!
