Districts had a chance with about a minute to go to kick a goal to put themselves in front but not to be.

Thought the umpires were pretty good too.

Needed to win that, play ROCS next week.

Sets up a fantastic round 18. With SPOC and Brighton losing its now Goodwood v PAOC, Districts v ROCS, Brighton v PNU and SPOC V TTG

Cards couldn't have fallen better for an amazing round 18. First to Sixth all on offer

Tea tree gully though, sensational win!!!

Moving from the caffine to the beers?

Brighton Bombers footballer and water boy banned one week by Adelaide Footy League for beer incident
All they wanted was a stubbie. But Adelaide Footy League has cut off a player and drinks runner who cracked open a cold one on the field, barring them from this weekend’s game.

Brighton reserves footballer William Cheesman-Dutton and water boy Tim Pearman learnt that lesson the hard way after cracking open a cold one and having a tipple during their match last Saturday.

The cheeky act may seem like a laugh but the Adelaide Footy League did not see the funny side.

The case of illegal hydration led to the pair copping a one-week suspension from the league following the division one reserves match at Brighton Oval.


Should they have been banned?
Yes - rules are rules
No - it's just a beer

Images of water runner Pearman, who is also a C grade player at the Bombers, and the B grade player Cheesman-Dutton consuming the beer from a glass bottle were brought to the attention of the league.

They have each been stood down for bringing the league into disrepute while the club was also fined an undisclosed amount.

It’s hard to blame the boys for wanting a beer after a big day out on the ground but at least waiting until the final siren sounded would have been wise.

Critics might also excuse the water runner for simply performing his role to hydrate the player.

Under competition regulations, “alcohol or any drinks in glass are not permitted to be taken onto the playing field at any time” during a match. The widely respected rule is most commonly applicable to spectators at quarter-time breaks — but this week’s penalties prove players with a hard-earned thirst are not exempt.

Brighton’s B and C grade teams will also be unable to use water runners for this Saturday’s matches, outside of trainers for medical assistance.

It may have been a laugh but the Adelaide Footy League was not amused by these photos. Picture: Supplied.

Players will need to go to the bench to get a drink of water.

Adelaide Footy League chief executive John Kernahan said the incident was “a bad look”.

“The club has been fined though they are as equally embarrassed at the players’ behaviour as the league is annoyed,” Kernahan said.

“If their players need a drink (water) they can go to the bench to get it — in short if they want to behave like children, we’ll treat them like children.”

“We try to find a balance between understanding our volunteers a trying have fun and may be stretched but when it reflects on the league and its standards we generally take a little more interest.”

Brighton president Kane Laundy did not respond to calls from The Messenger.

Definitely been guilty of that myself.

A shame because the Bombers have had a really positive back end of this season on the field.

Next time pour the beer into a water bottle problem solved.

Yep rookie mistake.

Come to think of it, I seem to remember Footy Chick breaching this particular rule one late September day in 2005 at Norwood Oval with Scott Darrington.

Albeit, that was the least of the League's troubles that day.

My only worry with the beer incident is it should've been poured into a plastic cup for OH&S.

brilliant

The Adelaide Now article has been updated to include a Brighton Comment:

A Brighton spokesman said the players had accepted their penalty and the club had moved on.

“Whilst those involved may have thought it was some light hearted fun in the very late stages of a one-sided game, it’s a timely reminder to our members that we are part of a wider community and this doesn’t reflect well on anyone,” the spokesman said.

“It also serves as a reminder that in this modern age of phone cameras that people in general need to be aware there’s nowhere to hide.”

Down the Hill wrote:“It also serves as a reminder that in this modern age of phone cameras that people in general need to be aware there’s nowhere to hide.”

Some people are just losers who need to find something better to do with their time than take opportunisitic photos like this and report.

Sure it's against the rules, and despite being a bit of light heartened fun it's not on, but geez louise to snap a photo and send into the league is pathetic... if it really upset the person so much why not just approach the MDO and report it, or raise it to the club?

In my own defence - it wasn't a rule back then (and it wasn't in a bottle either)

This comment doesn't read well at all. I recon the league would like to have that one again.

Ban the players and fine the club, no issues, but to then ban waterboys and make a snide comment about it as well is poor form from Thebby HQ IMO.
