Not sure about the rest of you but I'm thinking stiff bikkies. You bring a guy in for the last 7 games to replace a mercenary so you were already rolling the dice with getting 4 games into him. You then pull a swifty with the Round 14 situation so he's really only played 2 games. Broadview's heavy recruiting of high profile players suggests they were very determined to get promoted to Division 1. It seems that determination has now turned to desperation.
Technically an A grader can drop down to play C's the following week, there is nothing in the rules that prevents this
SAFooty.net, where you hear the community football news first
Just casually scrolling through the days court listings for something to do? Lol
' Better than the women's weekly gossip pages.
As an aside it was one of the most disappointing days of the former Payneham Barman's life when the Advertiser stopped publishing the cause list on this basis. Loved nothing more than to find a name he recognised and speculate about their problems.

Could be be careful what you wish for, if decision is quashed and remitted to the Tribunal a different tribunal might take the view its a 5-6 weeker
Anyone know the time-stamp?
Edit, found it. 62 minute mark.

Danny Southern telling Plugga he's fat, I'd like to see that!

Close.. but not quite true - if the side above had a bye, then they can't drop down if they played in that grade the week before (not that Broadies had a bye.. just sayin')

Yes I do realise that and we have had A grade lads who couldn't play A or B grade due to work or some other commitment but have still played C grade in the early time slot. But the key word there is 'played'. Pretty sure White wasn't playing any grade that day if there was no forfeit by the Unley C grade. But rules are rules and if they can be worked to your advantage then so be it. However the terms integrity and moral compass spring to mind.
A former AFL player has taken his three match ban for elbowing an opposing player to the Supreme Court in a desperate bid to be eligible for the finals of an amateur football league.
Jesse White was suspended for three games for striking an opposing player while playing for Broadview in the Division Two competition of the SA Amateur Football League.
He has already served sat out two of the games, but if he sits out the third, the final game of the season this Saturday – he will be left ineligible for the finals.
Mr White played 280 games across his 13 year career which included stints with both the AFL and VFL for Collingwood.
Sam Abbott QC, for Mr White, told Supreme Court Auxiliary Justice Sydney Tilmouth his client was applying to have the decision of the league’s disciplinary tribunal quashed.
Mr Abbott said Mr White was denied procedural fairness when the Tribunal took into account a disciplinary history sourced from a website which showed the former Collingwood Magpies and Sydney Swans player had been fined for misconduct.
Mr White had told the tribunal he had no previous disciplinary issues and when shown the new documents said he had no knowledge of the fines.
“These were not allegations which bought him before a tribunal, they were fines which may very well have been paid by the club without Mr White’s knowledge,” Mr Abbott said.
“Put in criminal parlances it is like a record of previous convictions was produced before sentence and the accused did not agree with them but he was sentenced anyway.”
In an affidavit read partially to the court, Mr White adamantly denied paying any fines for misconduct.
Mr Abbott said the tribunal incorrectly concluded that Mr White had been lying about the previous incidents and refused to suspend any of the punishment.
Because of the success of Broadview this season, Mr White is standing to lose at least two match fees if he misses the finals.
Mr Abbott asked the court to overturn the initial ban and remit it back to the tribunal for another decision.
Paul d’Assumpcao, for SAAFL, said asked the court to dismiss the application – saying that even if the previous misconduct had been taken into account, it would not have made a difference to the ban.
“Even if there was a hiccup along the way, it would not have changed the outcome,” he said.
“The decision maker does not need to give a running commentary and the point about the previous misconduct was not taken any further and they did not deliberate on it.”
Justice Tilmouth will hand down his decision on Thursday afternoon.

Its the elbow to the face afterwards that was the issue
Exactly the sort of act the league has been striving to stamp out. There have been about 8 players found guilty of offences with a similar grading .... Striking/Intentional/High/Low and most got 3 + (1). So, 3 for White is quite generous I believe.

I love the social media comments from blokes calling it “Soft” and “Hitting his shoulder”. Throwing an elbow at an unsuspecting bloke of the ground is a shit house act.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

What’s the salary cap per player??? I thought it was $400 a game I could be completely wrong. So should the league investigate Broadview for salary cap breaches if I’m correct. They must have some good brown paper bags
