HFL Division 2 (Country)

Not good at kangarilla to see their coach congratulate a player who had just king hit an opponent run off the ground and hide in the coaches box.
Maybe kangarilla were hoping for the game to be abandoned.

More crap and garbage ..player was taken from the ground and told in no uncertain terms ,coach also spoke to brett james and all was fine ...state facts not unfounded crap ,if u watched the game ,kangys could have been in front at quarter time ,kangys very young and lots of positives each week from a young team ...
Hope the lad from callington is ok .

I was standing right next to the box and saw what happened.
The only positive kangarilla could possibly take from the game is the umpiring of umpire Taylor who is prepared to humiliate himself to help kangarilla.

If thats the case, things must be really bad at Kangarilla if Taylor wasnt able to get them over the line. That bloke would be able to give Callington a respectable scoreline if he put his mind to it.

Apparently the points will be shared between maccy and cally despite maccy being ahead 14 goals up with 4 minutes to go in the first quarter. Dare say this could seriously cost the bloods, come finals time.

[ducks]

maybe the bottoms teams should get the game abandon when they play kersbrook and torrens valley, so they can share points against the teams they would normally lose to then. Big joke if they share points no point playing rest of the year for the lads there already game behind and percentage.

[godoubleblues]

Hopefully Callington's Jarrod Byrne is okay after yesterday's unfortunate incident that resulted in the game being abandoned against Macclesfield.

what happened ? must have been major for the game to be abandoned

My understanding is that there was a collision in the first quarter - all perfectly legal and without malice - that caused Byrne to lose consciousness for quite some time. He was not able to be moved by the attending ambulance staff until he regained consciousness, which was over an hour after the event. At this time, the decision was made to abandon the match.

Seems he's ok - was just reading this on AdelaideNow

good to hear he is OK
I was in Mildura a couple of weekends ago and I had some spare time so went to one of the local matches, South Mildura v Merbein
a similar thing happened where a Merbein player was badly injured in a seemingly innocuous incident very late in the game (less than 5 mins to go). He was on the ground for ages while club doctor etc checked him out. Ambulance came and it still took a while to get him into the ambo. While this was happening the umpires chatted to the captains and the captains agreed to call off the game whith the current scores standing, South Mildura were comfortably in front by about 7 to 8 goals

probably a good call to call the end the game there as it was nearly 30 mins after the incident when the ambulance finally left the ground

The point is the Captains agreed AND there was less than 5 mins to go - was it Nth Melb vs Ess a few years back on Fri night footy - 8 goals to F***all at quarter time and then ( I think) Ess won??? What is the criteria for awarding a win ....13-0 at Q time??, 10 -1 5-mins into the 2nd??? Surely the ONLY result was a draw - the crappy thing for Maccy was that (allegedly) a ph call to a certain PRESIDENT at the time of the incident - looking for clarification - gave the assertion that a win would be granted!!

[the big fella]

Big O should turn his mobile off on satdees..give the guy a break..

[limb]

Well said Alice the Camel.. the only option was to call the match a draw. The incident was completely unforeseeable and the fact that one team was likely to win comfortably should not be a factor. Whilst its unfortunate for Maccy they're just going to have to work that little bit harder to make sure they make the finals now.

Likely? I would say definately a win by over 50 goals was going to happen mate but anyway hopefully we are good enough to make finals without the points & percentage or whatever from that match

[The Panther]

Unless there is a draw somewhere else - percentage won't be an issue now for Maccy.
I hope to see Maccy rack up wins and make the five - small club having a go ( what hills country div is all about ).

[skimmer box]

Not sure it has been said but if T/V were 13 goals up against Maccy I am sure if a similar situation arose they would gladly accept the point.
Think we do need to give Owen a break, he didn't write the rule book and this is a "blue mooner" that I'm sure most of us wouldn't know what to do.

get over it. try harder and if u deserve to make the finals you'll make it

[TOPNOTCH]

I like pulling myself off and long walks on the beach..
get over it guys! if they are good enough they will make the 5.

Walks on the beach are a bit boring

I dont think they are good enough to pick up the two extra wins (1 because they didnt get the points and one extra to make up for the percentage the wont get)

But .. apart from Maccy who else cares they wont make finals they probably werent going to anyway, they can cry in their beer until next season

[Shortman]

I cant see why they wouldnt make the finals. All they have to do is keep beating the teams around them and have us do the same. Theyre good enough to beat Nairne and the others, and if they can sneak a win against us (hope not !!) then theyre in. Had they have gotten no points then theyd be in trouble. Theyll still finish 5th IMO.

I know that in the amateur league, a game cannot be declared a victory until at least a half has been played and then whoever is in front gets the points.

The same in the GSFL

I have no association with either club. Unfortunately rules are rules and if this is in the book, that's the way it goes until someone initiates change. A 'blue moon' is as good a time as any to do it, so let's hope the League get onto it without delay. I suppose it's all well and good for us to tell Maccy to just get over it under the circumstances. But I'm sure if it was our club we'd be pretty p***ed off about it and why not? Everyone knew they were going to beat Cally. That's why we have a premiership table and it'd be a bit sad if it cost them a finals spot.

[200 Killer Wasps]

Maybe Callington could have done the honourable thing and forfeited the game.

The difference between maccy and callington in that situation is that the point would mean something to maccy. The point to callington doesnt mean anything, they will still stay on the bottom of the ladder. And tv would still remain in the top 5.
