SAAFL Div 3 & 3R (2010)

[Iron Fist]

i hear the big steam train randy orton is back in the teal black and white this week, i wonder how many players mitchem will drop back on him this time

i think your half on the money bubba, randy is named but also an emergency depending on how the weather turns out saturday will determine weather he plays or not, has been training pretty well though so i would really like to see him out there rain hail or shine

All 18 Hawks will be droped back on the "great" AT, without doubt I'd be surprised if he's even spectating after what your pres had to say. You named him last year when you played us, and omitted Laslett...we didn't fool for it then and we won't this time either.

the president was miss quoted as it was said on here
andy has been around the club the last few weeks and everyone loves the fact that he is there
is a great bloke and would do anything for his mates. Will definately help the side out.

who would be the most likely to stand him hawkie??

Sorry - missed that...pretty significant miss quote

I think the versitle/nimble/pacy G Hardy would be a good match up. I'll personally get AT fired up before the game, so he comes out fists swinging.

Beer for you and Felch if he lines up in the A's Piccachu.

Marshalls report definately wasnt worth a send off, but as we are all aware the umpires make plenty of wrong calls and this was one of them.
If he didnt do anything in the first place it wouldnt have been a problem.[/quote]

What did he do in the first place genius? This type of incident happens at least 20 times in a match, footy is a physical game, if we are going to start penalising pushes to the chest our game is in trouble.

Well you seem to know a fair bit about the situation so what did you see? Your saying if he didnt do anything in the first place or are you saying it was retaliation which one was it was he the first to act or was he retaliating?

Im sure there was something done to make marshall retaliate.
How about you tell us what happened or what you seen???

[carey]

Prince Alfred OC v SMOSH West Lakes - PAOC too strong
Seaton Ramblers v Para Hills - Seaton to just get accross the line
Kilburn v Old Ignatians - Old Iggies should romp it in
Mitcham v Portland - Always a cracker, but gotta tip the Hawks!
CBCOC v Scotch OC - Will be a good game, but CBCOC should get up and almost put the nail in the coffin for Scotch.

The huge full forward for Portland in the B grade did he get reported for knocking out the small Seaton player on saturday with a punch to the face? ( this young lad was knocked out cold & spent the night in hospital )
If he only got a yellow card & 10 minutes for that & Marshall gets a red card sent & off for the rest of the game with no replacement for 10 mins ( for a push ) then our game is in serious need of observers & umpires that know the rules & interpretations of the game.
If the Portland v Seaton A grade game was a grand final those umpires would of created & allout pitch invasion brawl.

Along with Fisty's comment it was in the C grade. The incident was provced but doesnt excuse any actions played out by anyone. As i commented in the C3 thread the guy that went down should not be playing if his condition restricts any form of contact. I admire the bloke for his pasion to play but if you get open handed in the chest and face by someone and get knocked out hitting the ground in the way he did well???? No official actually incharge of the game saw what had occured. It was only the Seaton goal umpire that said he saw something. God knows how seeing that he was behind the whole thing. Plus i think he was cooked anyway. He was dark at the fact he was told he couldnt play for us as we had full sides (believe it or not) on a couple of occasions and cracked it and went across to Seaton. Yet he still hasnt played. Sour grapes, maybe. But again it doesnt excuse anyting that happened and i made sure that was the message at the breaks. I agree with you 110% about the umpires interpretations. They should be based on the rules and laws set out by SAAFL not their own and in some instances on AFL rules as i heard one umpire. Julia Gillards love child last week made a call and blateantly said tahts what happened last night so whats the difference (making relevance to the Carlton and Freo game) WTF!

Marshall's call was dissapointing but again thats the way the ball bounced and we should move on.

The Tribunal system at the Amateur League needs a good hard look at itself and the people who administer the rules should take responsibility for the sh*t we have to put up with week after week. It is crap and we all know it but unfortunately NO ONE so far will do anythihg about it. One particular person on the phones had a fair bit to do with Marshall even being up there on Wednesday night we hear. Everyone has already heard who set Marshall up up at Thebarton and the right people know who set him up.

It is not the kids who umpire in the D3 Comps fault. They are not up to it and should be doing under 18's or something. EVERY CLUB has complained of the Academy crap this year but do the powers to be do anything about it? - OF COURSE NOT

Run by absolute rocket scientists at the moment and EVERY DIVISION 3 CLUB has had to put up with this sh&t all year.

[jointman]

i agree about the kids should be doing juniors or c grade games...but hey the league might not have enough umpires so they gotta throw the young lads in the deep end....with out umps we wont have a game

[Trader]

How many games did that thug Paul Marshall get last night??

Cleared of striking, to which the tribunal changed their charge to misconduct (wasnt aware they could do this but they did) cleared of that charge also no penalty. With the great man Cougar Hosie representing was never in doubt. In all honesty the tribunal is a joke not sure how you can get charged with striking cleared then introduce another charge. Seems like they are an organisation bigger than the game and no wonder there is a level of frustration throughout the clubs. It also highlights some of the average decisions that players are having to put up with on the field and how umpires are having too much influence on games.

Rules clearly state that if in the course of a hearing another charge becomes evident a player can have that charge levelled against them. It sounds like that is what happened.

It stops you using the excuse in a melee when a player gets reported that another player shows up as a witness and says he was the player who threw the punch. Reported player gets off at witness walks free as he wasn't charged. Hence the rule. Plenty of other examples as to why this rule is required if you want them...

Our beloved CEO and Barry Oates (Umpires Coach) have repeatedly told us that Umpiring stocks have never been higher nor have they been of better quality. and then came Father Christmas and Easter Bunny. Don't you read the weekly Newsletters

not sure if you guys know, but i am a good mate of tom carr (ex power and port magpies) and i have just signed a clearance from our club (cummins kapinnie in great flinders league) to Old Ignatians footy club. i spoke with him last night and he will play maybe next week. he even bought his first pair of footy boots!

[axe_38]

no mercy you really should get your facts right about what you thought you seen or heard in regards to the huge full forward at portland apparently punching that guy in the face. lets face the facts if it was a punch(which it wasnt) he would of been out for a lot longer. the big tough full back thought he would run in and hit one of the youngest blokes on the oval and then turned and wanted to have a go at the big full forward which is pretty stupid and the big fella simply pushed him away with an open hand to the chest and he must of hit his head on the ground. apparently this isnt the 1st time the full back has gone down this year. if it is true about him having something wrong with him and not being able to have contact in such a physical game maybe he should think about wearing a helmet to protect himself or hang the boots up. what would be the point in reporting over this incident what would the charge be classed as. pushing in the chest, so instead of trying to get people reported for pushing which happens all day in footy maybe you should be more worried about telling that lad not to play anynmore i heard he has been knocked out atleast 4 times this year maybe its time to stop playing for his health.
