Simon Plumridge – Patience and resilience are rewarded with AFL game number one
If one could get frustrated about the delay to the AFL season, it would be Simon. Having had little movement in the AFL list for some years, Simon umpired four VFL grand finals before being promoted to the AFL in 2020. He then umpired one AFL game before the season was suspended.
