Also if the weather is as predicted, fine and 21 degrees, I think in the cove versus hackham game we could have close to a record score.
If they kick reasonably straight as well, I can def see 50 goals go through maybe pushing the 60 mark? Cove dont hold anything back on the lower teams. Could be a dark, dark day down at hawk park.

I agree, if they get whats coming to them, it could be the last straw. Maybe a club forfiet for the rest of the year, atleast they would only lose by 10 goal that way each week with the forfiet penalty points.

Hackham shouldnt be allowed into senior comp until they get a good juniors program up and running again. Morphy Parks should try with amateurs - sure you need to start at div 7 but at least they would be competitive.

Pretty harsh but they are continually bringing the standard of SFL footy down and havent shown any sign of improvement for the past 5 seasons.

[THE BOSS]

Although i don't know all the facts with the M.Wise case, i beleive it was an Cove offical that made the report, Now my question is should a club offical be allowed to make a report ?

[MatteeG]

Why isnt everyone whinging now that cove made the report?

When the Flaggy report went up v Brighton everyone was up in arms!!

[MatteeG]

Also, why has it taken this long for a suspension to be handed down? Why was he allowed to play last weekend?

SFL 'tribunal' is a laughing stock...

[Swooper16]

wouldnt surprise me if this forum influenced SFL tribunal decisions!

[THE BOSS]

I think the SFL have made a mistake by accepting the report, at the end of the day the umps are in charge of the game, don't get me wrong i don't agree that people should be going around smacking players, but if the umps miss it well, so be it.
All this has done is made possible for any tom, dick, or harry who is an offical to be able to make an report.

Next thing you know we will have people video taping games with trial by video.

Christies won by three points last weekend, Wise played CHB all day, wonder if he could of been the difference between Flaggys winning or losing. Surely the tribunal could of made time to have it before last weeks game. The loser of that game will find it hard now to play finals.

Thats true BOSS.
Also, if it wasn't his 1st report in 250 games he would've got 10 weeks he was told.

surely a reported player shouldn;t be allowed to play until the report has been delt with. The SFL should have delt with it on Tuesday /Wednesday after the game.

You can't just assume that he was guilty I agree it should have been dealt with after the weekend it happened but while Flaggies feel hard done by because he played what if he didnt play the result went the other way and then he was cleared this week? A team like Christies needs all the wins it can get to make the 8.
Also, a similar incident happened in a Lonsdale Morphett Vale game last year with the Pres of the Lions making the complaint! I think the Emus B's coach wasn't even called before the tribunal until finals time even thought the incident happened mid-season? The only officials that should be able to have any say from the sidelines in these matters are SFL officials club officials should have no say in filing reports! What happens on the field stays on the field! And thats my two cents!

nah thats not it at all smithy! it did play a small part in the descision but the descision was based on an afl rule which is that "wisey is meant to be out for as long as the cove kid"! the dentist said 10 weeks and greg anderson said he'd be back in 3-4 so they said 5 weeks!

OK. I was just repeating what the CBFC assistant coach told me.

the sfl tribunal is on a tuesday night and the cove officials didn't put the report in until late monday night which was to late which meant they had to go the following tuesday!

i agree MatteeG the sfl tribunal is a laughing stock and a joke!!!

[new kid on the block]

I just reckon that every single sfl club official and coach will have there eyes peeled wide open from now till the rest of the season looking to report anyone because you can! so look out sfl tribunal get set for a flurry of reports!

who's to say now? that if a lower team is playing a higher team on the ladder 1 or 2 weeks from finals, the lower team player gives one of the higher team players a sneaky hit, he then retaleate's and an official see's it then?????? that good player could miss finals!

Does this mean that a club can have 2 days to file a report to the league?? Gives them a very long time to get a good story together not to mention maybe legal advice?? Is there a time limit for these things? Also can a no official supporter, watching the game, see something relay it to a club official sit down sunday and monday to get the story right and then file the report?? Wat form of report can an official make only striking or any form (tripping, abuse, charging) ?No one would be playing if it keeps going like this. Keep that in mind round finals time hey.

great point! there should be a time limit and if the club cant come up with a good enough case within 2 days the case should be thrown out!

Should be 24 hours only!!! the game finishes at 5 sat night. a review of any incidents during the game would be dealt with before most clubs do presos, plenty of time to file a report to a league official.

[WHEELS&DEALS]

i thought there was a time limit to lodge a report, and thought it had to be lodged at the end of the game to the umpires, agree with you insider this is going to open a big can of worms, the league seems to be going backwards.
