SAAFL Division 2 & D2R (2012)

Would say crisp , but also true! Wish I could find that button

Probably the same as the AFL where they just rely on Match Review Panel - umpires these days generally give cards to save their wed night.

The AFL have 20+ camera's at any given game with profesionals who operate them. The match reveiw panel can then use this expert skill to police the game. I dont think they rely on some guy on a hill with a $ 200 camera he won on ebay.

The AFL match panel at least has some type of scrutiny in the media. The secret squirrel approach here means no one will ever be satisfied. The video should be posted online.

Totally shrek! The SAAFL system is not right!

Geez, a bit of whining on here. NM, Buzz and (the appropriately named) Numb Nuts, from what I've heard it was a sickening incident and by all accounts it was very lucky the player wasn't (very) seriously injured. How would you blokes have felt if it was your son, brother or team mate that was knocked out in an incident earning a long suspension? Stop defending thuggery, we know the Amateur League has clearly stipulated it wont stand for it. The recent events in Kings Cross are are an unfortunate reminder of what unprovoked violent acts can do and surely it's enough to make you blokes wake up?

From what I hear it was a little late, but fair play? How can u compare that to a murdered teen in Sydney? Not even comparable!! Think about it!!

Hmmmm, where do I start....
1. Both cowardly gutless assaults
2. Both potentially (and realized ) deadly blows to the head
3. Both hits were on unsuspecting victims in no position to defend.

Do you want me to go on?

How can u compare play on the footy field with an unprovoked attack on the street??? U can't because on the footy field u r waiting for a hit of some sort. On the street unprovoked.....leave u to figure it out hey!??

[The Big Shrek]

Similarities:

1. Latte Lad has seen neither of them.
2. Errrr....

no idea LL. 7 weeks what a f'n disgrace. Betcha the soft penis played the next week too. Grow some balls and that is for everyone still playing this brilliant game that do many are trying to ruin

[Cash 123]

Uni have just sunk to a new low this year and lost all respect from other clubs, except maybe few other college sides

[piccachu]

Blacks, is it true in the video footage it clearly shows one of the umpires staring straight at the incident, its amazing how so many people are experts on what happened with out seeing the event yet an umpire that was no more than 40m away and looking directly at the incident has no idea. as we know with technology now, different camera angles are required to see the exact time and point of impact. my argument is camera was one side of the incident umpire was on the other, one says 7 weeks the other says play on

[bubba love]

are you saying that millsy should have got off piccachu?

[Footy Chick]

It amazes me that people try to get away from the real issue that 1. he did it and 2. Regardless of any paranoia of being picked on or sinister suggestion Tony Roach influenced the decision (which, by the way, was not my intent with my previous post re: this issue), it is well documented that the SAAFL are not tolerating head high stuff anymore particularly when a bloke doesn’t see it coming.


Who in their right mind knowing that the SAAFL are a very sensitive to this type of thing at the moment is going to go around elbowing bloke in the head.

Despite what you all think, with the stance that the league are taking at the minute, I reckon if the shoe had been on the other foot, I'm sure Lachy would have been given the same holiday.

To be honest, even I found the amount of weeks surprising for a first timer...I'm assuming Portland will be appealing?

[bubba love]

how could they appeal when theres clear evidence against him? everyone need to forget about the previous incident where uni's sent in evidence of a sling tackle and focus on whats happend here, a portland player deliberately elbowed a uni player in the head, theres no place for it in the game

[Footy Chick]

Everyone has the right to appeal, just putting it out there....

[heater31]

I think we need to shift focus to why if the video showed an umpire having clear vision to the incident yet the umpire did nothing about it?

[Footy Chick]

He plays darts on Wednesdays?

useing good bait bubba but not catching anything
