SAAFL Division 2 & D2R (2012)

[The Big Shrek]

Ha ha ha

[supersonicgun]

Umpiring skills aside, in the relatively short time I've enjoyed on this earth I have never come across a c*ck smoker like the B grade umpire I saw today at TTG. The TTG people were very hospitable but ffs, this bloke takes the cake with biased umpiring and he doesn't do too bad with the small mans syndrome either. When the TTG family I was standing near says something like "this bloke is embarassing" it gives you a good idea what was going on.

By the way, we lost and deservedly so.

Edit: I'm talking about the b grade and before NM or TBS ask, we weren't videoing the game

I am guessing that you now know what it feels like then, for every other D1 Reserve side over the many, many years, and then the D6 Reserve sides, with Malcolm "Rule Book" in charge. At that point Malcolm had changed his first name by depol, to Wes. Taste of your own medicine perhaps. A bit of deja vu coming back to haunt you. Malcolm/Wes has sustained excellence and gold medal winning form, for years and years, and not just the one game either. The old saying "those in glass houses should not throw stones"

Malcolm never seen a bigger cheat in all my life

Agreed.

Eastern Park. Relegated from Div 1 now bottom in div 2. Sorry for my ignorance as I follow more of the country footy but what has gone on there. I'm aware a few players went to Yorke Peninsula but this is a huge slide.

Unfortuneately the club lost several players when we went into Div 1 which definitely had a huge impact on the club. Again this year in total we have had 34 clearances including 6 interstate, 6 players including Shaun Gatto to the YP league and another 6 to our feeder club Brahma Lodge including 2 past A grade B & F winners. Not complaining at all with the club promoting as many U18 players as possible this season which is where our future is. Club is doing a great job with these lads in a tough Div 2 comp.

Not unusual for clubs to drop two divisions in two years. Makes it very hard to recruit once you lose players, particularly with the player points system. At least you will have some -1 pointers for blooding your U18 players.

If you look at some of the more succesful clubs in the past couple of years, most have something in common... they have a strong under 18's team. Sides like Goodwood, Henley, Port Districts etc. all have strong 18's sides and have done for years.
It is too bigger jump from under 16's to senior football for most kids so if their club has no under 18's they tend to leave and are then lost to that club forever. So in the short term Eastern Park maybe struggling, but in the long term they should start to build a strong senior side with plenty of detpth. I still hate your B grade umpire though!!!

Blacks, I hate this, I am Modbury man, but thought with state of Modbury Oval and two of top three teams playing at Perti I would wonder up there and watch a good game of footy, and certainly glad I did, was a top game and showed why at least one of those teams will be in Div 1 next year. But I certainly saw what I rate as the most influential quarter of football by an individual this millenium. Yes that is right, the last quarter by the TTG B Grade umpire had everything you would hope does not happen in Amateur football. I normally would not use the cheat word, but you could not help it with this display. And to top it all off, with his back turned, he identified a player and a runner as causes of abuse to him and I think showed them both a card, my eyes are not what they used to be, so only went by his actions. And no Blacks, if they are headed for a tribunal, I will not appear, but am quite happy to put something in writing for SAAFL if asked. Absolute disgrace this person, doing one of SAAFL's top clubs no favours at all. I know it is hard to get umpires for B Grade, but TTG come on, tell this bloke to pull his head in please.

Perhaps you could do something? Your profile say youre from TTG...

But yea he did the same thing against us a couple of weeks ago, picking fights with our runner and unnecessarily overruling the other ump. Just ruins the game.

Yes Lutz, probably a bit confusing, but TTG in the summer, Modbury in the winter.

Thanks for that. Hard job these days keeping players at clubs. Good move by promoting the under 18s. Hopefully they stay on and you get the rewards that should follow.

[BUZZ]

Once again it seems the League has succumb to the persistance of one particular club and their video camera. A 200+ game player who has never been reported has been given a 7 week holiday due to amature video footage of him striking an opposition player. 7 weeks for a guilty plea and a 1st offence, what a disaster?
On the same night another player was on 3 striking charges and only received 3 weeks, consistancy with the system seems to be either non existant or MANAGED very poorly by the powers to be.

As stated before, Amature League it certainly is.......

[Footy Chick]

Can't believe it took this long for someone to say something...

All I can say is - next time it might pay to check on who you're belting first

[BUZZ]

:lol:

I wish my Dad knew someone back when I was playing, would have kicked 10 goal a game because know one would have come near me.......

[Trader]

7 weeks is high, but what's he doing belting people anyway?
Why put yourself at risk?

Just because he's never been reported doesn't mean he didn't do what he was charged with... and it's still the Amateur League that lays charges not clubs.

[piccachu]

striking probably isnt the right term for this incident, striking to me is a punch. late/high contact to me is not classed as striking and not in your life worth 7 games, maybe should be changed to charging or rough conduct, i agree with BUZZ on this one, a bloke can be reported twice in the same day found guily of both charges and only get 3 games. i thought these are the types the SAAFL are trying to weed out not players that play 200+ games for the 1 club that has never faced the tribunal before.
