The first grand final of the year is this weekend, and the umpiring panel to officiate the AFL Victoria Development League Grand Final was announced on Tuesday night.

There was a strong turnout again at Victoria Park, as the respective squad coaches handed out the first grand final appointments of 2014.

Congratulations to Tim Carlos, Haydn O’Connor, James Davey, Jarryd Barry (em), Patrick Dineen, Kieran Ferguson, Andrew Leggo, Chris Doyle, Luke White and Dylan Benwell (em).
