AFL NSW/ACT State Umpiring Manager Pierce Field said that the strong contingent of talent in the AFLW and NEAFL list was a great reflection of the strong work that has been done by the umpires’ junior clubs.

“There is a serious amount of talent on this year’s NEAFL and AFLW list and we are looking forward to watching them develop of the course of the season,” Field said.

“Our junior clubs are vital to the recruitment of umpires at the community level, so we felt it was only appropriate to acknowledge them and thank them accordingly.”
