ABA Finals

With the season heating up headed towards finals, who should be in control of the finals games in terms of referees?

With Phil Haines and Andrew Filmer unavailable as per CABL referee by-laws, which is a questionable by-law, I would expect the other National League Referees in Durant, Weiland, Mcdonald, plus Devlin to take care of the finals.

I would also expect that there would be a significant effort to avoid a repeat of last years finals.

"questionable by-law"??

Don't you mean the most ridiculous by-law in existence? It is like if an SANFL team were to prevent their (good) Crows/Port players playing in the SANFL GF because they wanted to let some of their less experienced players get some GF experience.

You should be able to choose the best (and in form) umpires for the most important game of the year. You have to earn your stripes.

Are you serious? Devlin?
She is where she is because she is female.
Dan Troy well before her....

How many active AFL umpires also umpire SANFL?

Off the top of my head the SANFL have Hay,
Bowen and Fila doing AFL. All 3 would not have done 50 games between them.

If Phil and Andy are rostered to Minor Round games then they should be rostered to finals as well.

McDonald & Wieland Men
Durant & Troy Women

Once at this level you have to select on ability not gender.
