Drugs, umps and other ammo's news

Tony (and anyone else I guess), what do you make of the fact that it happened 5 mins into the first quarter?

Are you indicating it was premeditated?

[Yank Man]

Confirmed!!!! Player suspended for 20 years

Which means he can have no official involvement or hold any position in any football club Australia wide

The last bit I get, no problem, but 20 years? You get less for manslaugter. Not saying it's right or wrong but a life ban would have sounded so much better.

Hell no.

I would be thinking that maybe the player in question didn't go into the game in the best state of mind.

Hard for an umpire to p**s someone of that bad in the first five minutes, unless of course there is a another side to this story.

[Dutchy]

Thats what I was thinking, did the game get called off?

[Footy Chick]

nope, game played out - Rosies won.

[woodublieve12]

20 years is a fair ban. Should've just said life though.

[The Big Shrek]

Is it true that an SAAFL umpires was banned for 6 weeks over one of the Rosewater incidents?

[bloodhound]

I note that no points were stripped off Rosewater, meaning I assume that they can apply to rejoin & come straight back into D5. With the proposal that only the D5 Premier gets promoted this year due to the "horrible" likely decision to allow Brighton & Morphettville Park to queue jump other loyal Clubs, this could have represented a way to both further sanction Rosewater & reward both D5 GF combatants.

[Tony Clifton]

Was anyone there?

What incident(s) led up to the umpire hit?

Was it a rough game? Were other players sent off?

The player had been sent off - why? Presumably he then disagreed with the decision. Verbal abuse too? Did the incident occur on the field or over near the interchange race?

Is he a highly regarded umpire or is there a history between him and the player/club?

Whilst I get your point, No answer to any of the above questions should condone the outcome of what happened to the umpire. Unfortunately

I wasn't making a point?

Just interested in how it all went down.

Edit - sorry, just saw we still aren't meant to be discussing specifics so will leave it be. Apologies mods

There is 2 sides to every story...

Surely they can't come back via Div 5.

Salisbury west didn't.

Great example to set for other clubs if your captain hits an umpire.

Just simply sit the seasin out and rejoin Scott free The next season

Last year's "loyal" Div 5 Premier couldn't even field a team this year!!!

Maybe get you facts in order before commenting.

Dropping a current div 5 finals contender or they were b4 today.... dropping them to div 6 next year will only hurt the other div 6 clubs around them and rosies in div 6 now would only reap the easier level bringing them a higher chance of a flag in 2017 for them

It happened when Smithfield were shut out for the season, the following year they were far too good for anyone in div 7 and it was pointless for anyone else. Their misconduct on the flip side brought a piss easy premiership just 12 months later

[Look Good In Leather]

Heck. Big blow.
And, yes, it's our past players day and 60th anniversary at Elizabeth this weekend.

Maybe ring Pooraka and see if they want a game? Long shot and its not the same, but at least there's a game on for everyone to watch?

Or how about a past players game?

Might want to check your facts on this one. Smithfield were div7 for 2 years before the season your talking about.

Yes u are right but in their season of misconduct they were well on there way to likely meeting ingle farm in the div 7 grand final before they were removed from the comp in round 17

So rather them heading up to div 6 with the farmers they infact stayed in div 7 and flogged everyone the following season with an undefeated premiership. It was a nice experience for everybody including them

[MW]

20 years for Adam hey. Does that include coaching?

They aren't "coming back" - they're simple suspended.. they're hardly "sitting the season out" - they miss the last 3x games!

Think of it like they're forfeiting the last 3x rounds.
