Stuart Wenn

Stuart Wenn is an Australian rules football field umpire in the Australian Football League. He made his AFL umpiring debut in 1995, and as of the end of 2013 has umpired in 332 senior matches.[1]

Late in the 2010 season, during a match between St Kilda and Richmond, Wenn sledged Richmond's Daniel Connors, telling him "You're batting way out of your league". Wenn was dropped from the final round of AFL matches as a consequence of this.[2]

Wenn's father, Rex, was a leading Victorian Football Association umpire during the 1970s,[3] who umpired in Grand Finals in that competition.[4]
