AFL director of umpiring Jeff Gieschen announced on Tuesday that Scott McLaren, Michael Vozzo and Shaun Ryan will officiate the 2008 Grand Final on Saturday between Geelong and Hawthorn.
All-Australian umpire Brett Rosebury was not selected for the year's biggest match and instead will take his place on the interchange as an emergency.
Gieschen said that Rosebury missed out as he hadn't umpired as well during the finals series as he had in the regular season.
McLaren, who will bounce the ball at the start of the match, will be officiating in his fifth grand final while Vozzo and Ryan will be making their second and first appearances respectively in a grand final.
