Mixed results today with the U13s, U15s, U18s and B grade all recording solid wins over Loxton North. However the story of the day was the A grade unfortunately recording a loss, bringing to an end an incredible 30 game winning streak. Despite dominating the game, Waikerie mistakenly fielded 18 players at the beginning of the 4th quarter when we should have only had 17 due to a yellow card send off late in the 3rd. (New rules introduced by the RFL in 2018 dictate that a player who is yellow carded and therefore sent off for 10 minutes of play, can not be replaced by another player during that 10 minute period.)
Loxton North called a “count” and with an extra player on field, Waikerie’s score of 12.10 was wiped. Despite kicking 3 goals 5 to Loxton Norths 2 points in the last quarter, it wasn’t enough to close the gap, with Waikerie going down by 17 points.
I've always thought that as the dumbest rule in footy.
Hence why in the Adelaide Footy League it doesn't exist
Yes you do but the score isn't wiped at the time. It's covered by regulation 34. However the league has the power based on the umpires report that has to be submitted by 10:00 am on the following Monday to:
determine whether the offending team shall lose all points which it had scored in the match up to the time of the count, and if so determined, The League shall have power to vary the scores of the match and/or impose such other penalty as deemed appropriate by The LeagueMuch the same in other leagues with the scores recorded and at the time of the count the league can on the basis of the ground report reinstate the score that was wiped.
In essence you have the same law/regulation only difference is the offending (19+ players on the field) teams score isn't wiped at the time of the count.
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!!!
