2004 AFL Finals Series Field Umpires



The AFL has appointed 12 field umpires to officiate in the 2004 Finals Series.

The panel has a range of finals experience. Derek Woodcock and Shaun Ryan will be officiating in their first final series which contrasts the experience of veterans Hayden Kennedy and Darren Goldspink who boast 12 series each.

Hayden and Darren also boast the most finals games of this years panel. The retirement of Bryan Sheehan last year means that they are the closest to the AFL finals record - Jack Elder's 39 finals between 1906 and 1922. Bryan was two games short following and outstanding career.

The boundary and goal umpires's panels will be published when announced later this week.

The field umpires panel is listed below.

Brett Allen 10 22 274 24 4
Martin Ellis 23 20 163 5 1

Ray Chamberlain was only a replacement umpire. He might get a proper gig next year.

here's a bit of useless information, remember the Toyota ad which had a family with 2.3 kids and there was a littly blonde headed kid who said at the end "Yeah and Im the point 3?"...That was Ray!!!

Great post Goaldrush. I really admire your passion for umpires. You are one of my favourite posters on Big Footy because of your loyalty too them.

I also admire your loyalty to Hawthorn and the way you stuck up for the
former Hawthorn coach.

 

[goaldrush1977]

Nah I'll be right. I probably hang it on him.
Do you know him?

Any idea who'll get which games?

 

[pazza]

Going to have a punt on what umpires are going to get what games this week.

Friday Night: Brett Allen 10 Scott McLaren 11 Shaun Ryan 25
Saturday: Corin Rowe 12 Hayden Kennedy 7 Michael Vozzo 2
Saturday Night: Martin Ellis 23 Darren Goldspink 32 Derek Woodcock 26
Sunday: Mathew James 5 Stephen McBurney 3 Shane McInerney 30

 

[Bomaz_Magic]

Who chose S. McLaren?

 

[goaldrush1977]

Who chose S. McLaren?

The aflua selectors did

 

[Disgustipated]

Do you know him?

Correct.

He also has another claim to fame. He was a wicketkeeper and not a bad one at that. At the u19s Champs he dropped a bloke 2nd ball of the carnival.
That bloke went on to score 189 and topped the aggregate for most runs scored at a U19s carnival, Jerry Cassell was his nameo.

Cool bananas! Thanks for letting me know.

Friday Night: Brett Allen 10 Scott McLaren 11 Shaun Ryan 25

If this is correct, any minute chance the Saints had on Friday night well and truly evaporated if that hopeless moron is on the field. His decisions in the round 21 game were appalling.

Still cant get over that terrible decision to ping Montagna for travel after Montagna had bounced the ball and had taken 13 steps. One of the worst decisions of the year, closely followed by the decision to kill off the Geelong v Saints game at Card in a Park with his pathetic free kick to Ben Grayham.

Allen and Ryan are Ok, and i wouldn't mind Kennedy. All three are good consistant umpires. Just not Mclaren and McBirney. Please!!!

[jim boy]

Jack Elder's 39 finals between 1906 and 1922.

Thats a pretty impressive figure when consider there would have been normally only been 3 or 4 finals a year, or about 63 finals over that time, all with only one umpire. Compare that with nowadays where you have 9 finals a year and three umpires. You gotta wonder why today's umpires are so weak that they just don't seem to be able to challenge that record.

Darren Wilsons record is fantastic...

Great to see 6 South Aussies on the AFL Umpires Finals Panel in 2004...i reckon at least two of them will make it to the last day in September

I tip Darren Wilson to continue his dominance on the boundary, and umpire his 7th GF in a row!

After being named emergency umpire for last years GF (and IMO he was a bit stiff), i tip goal umpire Ante Perkovic to officiate in his 1st AFL GF. (Partnered by Anthony Black from Victoria).

 

[pazza]

Surprised to see Black on the list, after his errors in Round 20.

When you consider the best goal umpire on the rise, Jason Venkataya isn't even on the list.

Black is a quality umpire...i missed his round 20 game what did he do???

i was lucky enough to see both Black and Venkataya umpire together earlier in the year at TD. Blacks' a great umpire, and as u say Venkataya is a quality up and comer.

Ante Perkovic was stiff last year not to get the GF ahead of Mark Harrison i thought. I think barring any errors during the finals, Ante Perkovic will umpire the GF, probably with Harrison or Black.

three major goal umpiring errors.
All to do with scores

As Suzi alluded to, made 3 errors in the Essendon versus Collingwood game, and getting canned for it by all and sundry who saw them...2 were involving questionable goals that appeared to be touched through as an example.

coaches will always back their umpires in if there is any doubt...sounds as if he was given the benefit of the doubt. and touched calls can be difficult, esp if u dont see a deflection. it can be the faintest of touches, which doesnt delfect and u dont hear it...but the players know that they touched it! if u dont see or hear it, u cant call it....

being a friday night game im sure Eddie and Co wld have been giving it to him...
