NO AFL IN THE SANFL BANNER WEEKLY UPDATE

[heater31]

why not? Who owns Footy Park?

Even though the SANFL own football park the FOXTEL Cup is an official AFL competition hence the reason we are only allowed to wear pre approved sponsors on our guernseys.
I would think the AFL would deem this game no differant than an official AFL fixture and as such I very much doubt Eric would be allowed in.
I would also bet the Dimwitriou and his cronies would be well aware of Eric and will make sure he isnt allowed in

only one way to find out!

"WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE."
It all makes sense now. WESLO reported to CDFC's oval manager, Collette, that the sign was on display. Collette, who is in the club & can't see what's going on, asked WESLO if Eric WAS ON THE OVAL. WESLO said IT WAS. Collette then told them Eric has to go. WESLO seemed to think that within the grounds constituted on the oval! All sorted now. Can't wait to tell the grandkids one day......If I live that long

What we have here is more puerile arse covering by WeSlow; on the oval and in the oval are pretty self explanatory even for the yellow men. Their incompetence should not be ignored, I am sure we have all witnessed how useless they often are but the SANFL keeps on employing them.
Maintain the rage !

just watched the video and its great to see Police resources being used to stop such outrageous behaviour at a footy ground!!!!


that is a disgrace what happened and weslo held the banner as if it was infected or something!!!

So what about the cops? Surely they dont take instructions from Weslo or Collette.

[Dogwatcher]

I understand why the cops followed Weslo's 'directions'. It's not their fault Weslo had it wrong. But the scene outside the oval is embarassing to SAPOL - trying to stop filming is a foolish thing to do and a sure way to open your professionalism to ridicule.

Here is a fact for you, the law states that if you swear at someone inside a sporting venue, you are to be evicted. If you swear at someone once you are outside the venue, you are arrested. That's not opinion, that's how it is. Whether Centurion should have been told to take the sign down or not is irrelevant (clearly yes he had every right to hold the sign up), the fact is he was told to take it down and refused. Clearly there was miscommunication within Weslo, but if centurion was asked to take the sign down and refused, then continued to argue the point, then his forced removal from the venue was the correct course of action.

^^that isn't coming from me, it's coming from a cop who works at sporting events

Here is a fact for you— anyone who takes their legal advice from "a cop who works at sporting events" deserves their level of ignorance.

You do realise that in the modern age, there are sites like http://www.austlii.edu.au where all legislation and all case law are compiled, free, for anyone to access? There is no need for "I've got a mate, who's got a mate, who is cousins with someone who once walked past the Commissioner of Police, and so I know that you totally can't do that" in this millennium. It's all out there. I would love to read this 'Compulsory eviction for swearing inside a sporting venue' law. Go on, try to dredge it up. Or get your cop mate to dredge it up. We'd love a laugh.

Speaking of people who would be dangerous if they had a tiny amount of knowledge of the actual law, the copper's "You'll be arrested for loitering" at the tail end of the YouTube clip, directed at someone who is filming and informing Police (who, I can only guess from the funny things that are happening to the camera, have just finished committing a trespass to property and/or assault) that he's aware of his right to keep filming, is the absolute coup de grace.

Great post SH, the towering intellect here marks you as a Norwood man.

Cannot wait for pafc1870's response.

As I said in my post, they weren't my words, and yes I'll follow it up smartarse

You'd want to check what the rules on size of signs and things you can take in. I think a sign the size of Eric wouldn't be allowed in even if it said "Andy D for PM", so you can forget about the conspiracy theories.

I reckon I've seen bigger at AFL games...

[RustyCage]

And I'll say it again because some obviously didnt read what I originally posted correctly. What I was saying about the law wasnt my opinion on the matter, I was just regurgitating something I was told by someone involved who knows exactly how the law works better than someone who went to a website. For the record I think the cops overreacted and Centurion was harshly dealt with

[RustyCage]

Yep but there is an approval process they go through to get them, and only for groups directly linked to the club involved.

[Dogwatcher]

Ok.

[RustyCage]

Ok.

There probably is a way they can get Eric in, but would take some groundwork, so maybe they could try to get something in place for next home game

Where is this video?

Thanks for the (almost) useless link.

I thought I'd have a look at what South Australian legislation covers this incident and what rights Centurion has. Makes for interesting reading Simon, although I'm sure you have looked into it already.

Thought the recent addition of penalties attached to the little known Banners at Football that don't say 'We Love You Paddy D ' or 'Port Till I Die' laws that were rushed through the Legislative Council were particularly harsh.
