Nick Foot has been selected on the 2012 AFL Senior Field Umpiring List.This is a reflection on Nick’s undoubted ability but also the dedication and work ethic he has demonstrated over the past few years particularly since he was given his first opportunity to trial for the AFL at the end of the 2010 season.Our 3 other present AFL listed Field Umpires have made the AFL through the VFL competition (Scott Jeffery, Stefan Grun and Shane Stewart).Nick is the first Tasmanian Field Umpire to ever be selected directly out of the State League. This is an endorsement of the opportunities that have been created for umpires through the TSL competition and also of the programs that we have in place.Nick is also able and plans to continue to live in Tasmania. When not appointed to an AFL match he will officiate in TSL matches.
A talented junior footballer, Nick played in the Southern Primary School State Premiership side which comprehensively defeated the Northern and North Western sides in 2001.
