Seaton president Paul Johnson also denounced the violence. "There is no room for it in football. We frown upon any of our players getting involved in this," he said.
Maybe Seaton need to start to do something about it, as by the looks of it some of there players have been involved in a few incidents this year.
is it just me or did the
reporter only mention that Seaton had a high incident rate this year and not the fact that the guy from Seaton was actually the victim here? I read it as they were saying "too bad" he played for Seaton? It doesn't matter how clean or how dirty your club is, it only takes one idiot thug to change the perception. From reports on this one the guy from AL was out of control, they wouldn't have known he was going to do it. If I was this guy I would be taking legal action for sure. It wouldn't be accepted on the street and nor should it on the footy field.
There Tex, I corrected it for accuracy
And for the record, I checked the official response to the Sunday Mail and there is no mention of Seaton being one of the 3 clubs, and this is the first time this season that Seaton have had a player up on a Cat A charge, so it is factually incorrect. Note I used the word reporter and not journalist.
I'm not taking either side in this problem, but the standard of reporting is appalling.
A bit like the last idiot saying Kilburn won the Div 2 Grand Final last year.
I would say both clubs are in for an interesting week
