A junior football player was allegedly struck by an opposition official during an U13 boys SANFL match between North Haven and Fitzroy at the weekend.

The SANFL has launched an investigation into the incident after the match at Sam Johnson Sportsground was abandoned on Sunday with the violent altercation involving club officials and players led to umpires showing two blue cards.

Sources close to The Advertiser who witnessed the event have alleged that in the third quarter a North Haven official ran to the opposite side of the oval and struck a Fitzroy player, with the boy collapsing in pain and the official receiving a blue card as a result.

It is alleged the violent act was in retaliation to a dangerous ‘dump’ tackle during the contest.

The incident sparked a response from both Fitzroy and North Haven officials, who engaged in a scuffle that resulted in a second blue card being shown, effectively ending the game.

According to the SANFL, a blue card can be issued by an umpire or official “who deems off-field behaviour to be unacceptable”.

Games can restart after one blue card but will be abandoned after two, with the score wiped.

“I was in shock, it was probably the worst thing I’ve seen on a footy field,” an onlooker told The Advertiser.

The SANFL has since launched an investigation into the incident.

“We are aware of an incident during the quarter of an U13s game between North Haven and Fitzroy which resulted in the umpire issuing two blue cards and abandoning the game,” a SANFL spokeswoman said.

“We have zero tolerance to behaviours that do not meet the standards we expect of players, officials, families and spectators,’’ the spokeswoman said.

“As such, SANFL staff will now undertake a full investigation of the incident including consideration of appropriate penalties and/or sanctions.’’


Unacceptable behaviour by players, spectators and club officials in local junior football has been an increasing issue in recent seasons.

At the end of last season, SANFL revealed the SANFL juniors competition “had received 73 poor coach ratings by umpires, and had seen 15 blue cards for abuse from varying coaches, spectators and other club officials”.

The number of red, yellow and blue cards shown to players and officials has only increased this season, with Adelaide’s junior footballers earning themselves three times as many red cards this year as last season.

Initial fines of $100 were introduced for individual breaches of initiatives that require coaches and other officials to be seated during games, while a new coach behaviour strategy could have coaches fined as a result of two poor ratings, and suspended two matches after a third poor rating.

SA Police also confirmed it was investigating Sunday’s incident.

“Police are aware of an incident which occurred at the Sam Johnson Sportsground and the matter is being investigated,” a SAPOL spokesmansaid.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact crime stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at http://www.crimestoppers.sa.com.au”.

Both the North Haven and Fitzroy football clubs declined comment.

Lucas would be absolutely fuming!

The SANFL wishes to advise that it has concluded its investigation into an incident during a National Pharmacies SANFL Juniors Under-13 Division 4 boys match on Sunday August 6.

The incident during the third quarter of the match between Fitzroy and North Haven at Sam Johnson Sportsground, Renown Park, resulted in umpires issuing two blue cards and immediately calling off the match, in accordance with SANFL Juniors rules.

As a result of the detailed investigation into the behaviour of team officials, the following has been resolved:

North Haven’s team manager is charged with breaching the SANFL Juniors Code of Conduct for engaging in physical abuse towards a player, which resulted in the first blue card being issued.
North Haven’s team manager will be de-registered as an official and receives a lifetime ban from holding any official role in football (i.e. team manager, coach, trainer, committee member). He will also be suspended from attending any SANFL Juniors matches for 12 months.
North Haven Football Club is charged under the SANFL Juniors Competition Rules and Regulations. It will receive a $500 fine and be required to undertake a positive role modelling education session for all club officials prior to the 2024 season.
It is acknowledged that North Haven Football Club co-operated fully with the investigation.
Fitzroy’s coach will receive a reprimand for “aggravated behaviour” towards the North Haven bench after the first blue card offence involving the North Haven team manager. It is acknowledged that the behaviour was in response to the situation that had occurred prior.
The Ground Marshall and First Aid Officer from Fitzroy Football Club were commended for their efforts in de-escalating the situation at hand.
SANFL Executive General Manager Football Matt Duldig said today:

“SANFL has zero tolerance for anyone who is in breach of our Code of Conduct at junior matches and it is simply unacceptable to see team officials, who should be role models for young players, behave in this manner.

In this instance, the severe penalties should serve as a reminder to anyone attending junior matches that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated.

We have a thriving SANFL Juniors competition with over 12,000 players and more than 550 matches each weekend of the home and away season, with the vast majority of people involved in the game doing the right thing.

As a League, our priority is to protect the wellbeing of young players and umpires, ensuring that junior footy is an enjoyable and quality environment in which the game can be played.

Significant education and introduction of a number of initiatives over the past few years, including ‘sit down to coach’ rounds and the implementation of five-metre exclusion zones around coaching areas, is having a positive impact on behaviour, both on and off the field.

Now with over 700 SANFL Juniors umpires and the ability to fill umpiring appointments at every one of our 550-plus junior games every week, we are taking decisive action immediately when there is inappropriate behaviour, as demonstrated with this incident.

All of our junior umpires are provided with ongoing training and education to equip them with managing incidents and we have more umpire coaches at games supporting young umpires them than ever before.”

Am I correct in my thinking that if you get the APPS points slightly wrong, the SANFL/CFL will fine you $20,000+, but if an adult from your club runs on the field and assaults a 12 year old the SANFL will only fine you $500?

Was Albo actually serious about a public holiday if the Matilda's win the world cup? I thought it was a joke but heard some serious debate about it on radio this morning

Sounds right. That's logic & common sense for you.

He first said if they win the semi, and according to one of his parliamentary (fe)mates, winning the semi final is the greatest sporting achievement in Australia's history. (I think she's taken the post down now..........)

The nutcase on the Malaysian airlines flight from Sydney who caused a disturbance and threatened that he had something in his backpack. Aircraft had to land back in Sydney and after 3hrs of talks/negotiations the AFP eventually boarded 3hrs after landing.
16R/34L was closed for nearly 5hrs and flights have been delayed, diverted or canceled so an absolute nightmare at the airport currently

Yeah that's really odd. Would have thought the club gets really belted, he was a club official after all the the club takes the responsibility with that.

I don't know. Alot of wet lettuce getting about at the moment.

The team manner should be charged police as well.

I was being a bit flippant so I'll explain a little bit more.

I'm not for a second trying to defend this person's actions but.... the club is liable because of a volunteer's actions. This is the tricky situation for us in club land because we need a set of volunteers for every junior team and obtaining those volunteers is difficult. So really, (sounds bad) but you get whoever puts their hand up. There isn't necessarily a 'vetting' process - well not at most clubs anyway.

Belting the club isn't necessarily going to fix the matter ongoing because the next Team Manager that steps in might go and do something equally as silly. The only thing we can do is educate the volunteers about upholding the code of conduct. But it's hard to enforce as you can clearly tell.

So whilst I think the SANFL fine is soft in comparison to the Ammos fine, I do think it is appropriate in the circumstances and yes, I agree, the police should be involved.

Daughter, her partner and a friend (all over 30) went to a particular liquor shop today at Norwood to buy alcohol for a large weekend party.

Had over $800.00 of goodies in the trolleys and went to the checkout and then got asked for id. Daughter had hers but the other two didn't as they had left it in the car, end result being daughter wasnt allowed to purchase the alcohol on the pretence that the other two may have been under 18. (they certainly dont look under 18 and look their age)

FFS obviously this outlet must be making oodles of money, anyway they walked out, goodies left in trolley for staff to put away they went to another outlet and got what they wanted with no hassles

I like it, you gotta work for it. I remember when I was 15-16 I rode my BMX around the Peninsula to every Deli trying to buy a Stick Mag, 20 clicks later and 13 Deli's, I got one then suddenly wasn't in the mood.
