STEPHEN McBurney, Brett Rosebury and Shaun Ryan have been named as the field umpires for this season's Grand Final between St Kilda and Geelong at the MCG on Saturday.
McBurney will be officiating his fourth grand final while for Rosebury it will be his first. Ryan is the sole survivor from last year's premiership decider and will be umpiring his second grand final.
Rosebury was also announced as the All-Australian umpire for the second consecutive year.
AFL Umpiring director Jeff Gieschen said the league has complete faith in the trio.
"We're really confident that the three guys we've appointed are ready to umpire well, are in great form and will do the job that we require," Gieschen said
Ray Chamberlain is the emergency field umpire.
Boundary umpire Darren Wilson will officiate his 12th straight grand final and will be joined by Adam Coote, Mark Foster and Mark Thomson while David Dixon and Mark Canning will be the goal umpires.
Meanwhile, the league's football operations manager Adrian Anderson warned the Saints and the Cats that double penalties apply for any player who is charged by the match review panel.
