Anyway who cares , maybe the SANFL could also sue for a loss . We all know there would have been 10000 less people attend.
What if it was Glenelg, Sturt or even Port in the Eagles place?
The crowd figure reasoning is irrelevant.

I'm not sure how North's negligence could have stopped any head count occurring.
Eagles captain to the umpire 1 minute into the last quarter: "I want a head count"
Umpire: "Sorry mate, North's negligence means that can't happen"

Due norths interchange steward incorrectly stating extra player was down in the rooms receiving treatment.

Someone always takes it too far, talking about Glenelg being in a Grand Final, just being silly now.

Off topic I know, but could you imagine if BOTH Glenelg & North Melbourne were in grand finals the same year.... Spargo & Dutchy would be in full voice.

Nowhere in either of those articles does it mention that North's interchange steward stated there was an extra player down in the rooms receiving treatment nor does it mention how their negligence stopped the Eagles captain asking for a count.

I'm just saying that is absolute twaddle and you still haven't shown anywhere the SANFL said that.
It was pretty obvious at the time that the headcount didn't occur because the Eagle's captain didn't request one as required by the rules
If anything, common sense states the obvious in that a headcount COULD have occurred due to North's negligence.
Your statement is ridiculous and never stated by anyone else including the SANFL.

The Eagles captain at any time could have called for a headcount, he didn't and the negligence of the other side could not affect his ability to. It's quite simple. I can show you a replay of the game where he clearly at no time called for a headcount, feel free to confirm this with any of the umpires or the SANFL or even the Eagles themselves. The SANFL didn't need to rule this as it was obvious to everyone (obviously except for you) just like they didn't need to rule the sky was blue and the grass was green that day.
North were negligent, no doubt about that, noone has argued that, but that didn't cause the Eagles captain to lose his ability to communicate with the umpires like you ridiculously inferred and I took exception to.

So why were north punished if it was the eagles captains fault ??
That makes no sense to me.

Exactly, under the rules they shouldn't have been. It makes no sense to anyone that read the rules.
Nothing was the Eagle Captains fault, he missed his opportunity to win the game just like many players miss opportunities to do things that could impact a game.
That all is completely beyond the point discussed that someone elses negligence somehow magically stopped someone else from being able to communicate with the umpire which is ridiculous. Pure and simple.

I saw a comment through the quotes that said the Eagles captain could have called for a head count.
