All of our BJ Umpires had Grand Finals Appointments. Zac Caughey – Field Umpire Under 12 Div 4 Luke Andersen – Goal Umpire Under 14 Div 4 Mackinley Chandler – Boundary Umpire Under 13 Div 1 Chris Jardine – Boundary Umpire Under 13 Div 1 & Goal Umpire Under 16 Div 2 Chris also did a Field Umpire for Under 12 Div 5. (Late call up). Getting a Grand Final Appointment has to be earned so with all the Wilston Grange Boys getting an appointment it was a fantastic effort. Congratulations Boys – continue to do yourselves proud. But the season doesn’t end there – As the recipient of the “BJ Umpires Junior Coaches Award”, Chris Jardine will be going to Melbourne Umpire a half time game during the 2011 Grand Final on October, 1.

In addition he will participate in the Grand Final Parade through Melbourne and a number of other AFL Activities over the weekend. Green Shirts are first year umpires – this is part of a National Umpiring Program – which the AFLBJ are participating in.
