Exactly, he and his club should have learnt a nice lesson that day.
Funny part about it looking at the Elim Final in 2004 you would have sworn they hadn't learnt a thing. Same tactics, same result.
I wish we could play Westies in every final!

I think Craig Balme has also been sent off as well.
I could be wrong but it is my understanding that SANFL league or reserves players (State League) players are not neccessarily sent off after two reports, it is @ the umpires descretion if one of the events is serious enough to warrant a sending off.
Where as in minor leagues 2 reports is a send off. I had this pointed out to me in one of my first games umpireing reserves level in the NTFL (Darwin) a state league where I gave a player a red card after I booked him for his second report. My colleague asked me what the send off was for... fortunately it was serious enough to warrant a send off (very late charge with high contact i.e the ball was in the next post code). It was there I had that difference pointed out to me. I was used to umpiring in the minor Alice Springs league where used hand out more cards than a casino dealer.....
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

I'm not sure about the warranting reports to be sent off, just that two is a send off is my belief of the rule.
Laws of Australian Football as administered and controlled by the AFL. These laws apply to bodies affiliated to the AFL and to bodies affiliated to AFL affiliates.

20. ORDER OFF LAW
20.2 Order Off for Remainder of Match
The SANFL applies this law if a player is reported twice in a match by field Umpire for separate incidents (only a Field Umpire can order the player off). A Field Umpire may send a player off of the field for the remainder of the match if a single reportable incident is extremely severe.

As I said I could be wrong with respect to the SANFL. You are right with respect to the 2 report law, under law 20.3 2 reports is a send off but the laws of Australain football allow for leagues (controlling bodies) to make variations if they see fit. Hence the why law 20.3 may not necessarily apply to SANFL competition (league or reserves)

SANFL variation mentioned above has following heading
Listed below are the variations to the Laws of Australian Football that apply at all levels of SANFL football.
I was at the game and didn't see James Gowans get reported. Anyone shed any light on what it was for?? Wilson got reported but should get off, it was the most ridiculous report I've ever seen.
The new recruits look great. Really impressed with Grima, Callinan and Lawry. Thought our first half was pretty ordinary. Had plenty of the ball but our use of it was woeful. We seemed to kick into gear in the second half. Not a bad effort for the first game.
Ladhams looks like he's been eating plenty of pies over summer.

the dogs too have a couple of key players to come back in Yves Sibenaler (overseas) and Quinton Graham (shoulder) and Chad O'Sullivan (Groin)
Cowans played in the reserves along with Musolino and Schiller. Giles, Havelberg and Ware all played league. Hayes who played quite a bit of league last year was also in the reserves. Looks like we have a lot more depth this year with Sibenaler, Graham, O'Sullivan and Aufderheide all to come back yet.
(was there ever any doubt)
