at a minimum a fine for the footy trip should be imposed
Serious question - why can't a player be reported for striking their own team-mate? Is there a rule that says you can only get reported for hitting an opposition player? Obviously Hartlett didn't mean to hit his team-mate but that is besides the point. Players are frequently reported during contests with opposition players for reckless contact when competing for the ball even though their intention is not to hit a player
Anyway its great to get a win on any occasion. It feels even better when you beat an opponent who played really well. I was definitely worried about how we'd shape up after the week off but from the first moment it was evident we had come to play. If we can bring that attitude to the GF I am sure we can knock off either Centrals or West.
Terrible news for Angus Rowntree going down with what appears to be another serious knee injury and who is a virtual certainty to miss out on another GF (after also missing out our last Premiership through injury). His toughness in close will be hugely missed.
The Club as a whole should be very proud. All three grades into Grand Finals. Should be a big weekend in a fortnight.
