Henley had their first win of the season today over Uni. Battled hard all day, although not pretty deserved to win. Uni were woeful, can't see them playing finals on that performance.

Admittedly first week of Uni holidays is always the best week to get any Uni team

that just makes your Payneham C-Grade and Kenilworth the only teams without a win in the A-Grade divisions i think Joey?

Would have thought the club would back the coach to fix the issue.

I blame jo172

Post rumours and innuendo here;

They must be on drugs to let a coach as good as Jackson go when they are sitting 4th

I think this was the pertinent post Zartan

Princes by 5+ goals over Gullies. Tight for two and a half qtrs but Princes piled on 8 consecutive goals to run out comfortable winners

I suggest you don't go down that path because you're not even close.

Wrong div.

Great tip by the budget this week. Henley by 23
The retards, they couldn't even score 23 points in total. That side right now world struggle in div 3. They must have hell injuries or lost heaps of players because most those blokes yesterday were B graders.

Couldn't believe what I saw at the end of the game a skinny red head SN player, does nothing all day, kicks a set shot goal and runs around like a plane with his arms out. Surely that's a fine from his team mates

Henley certainly are a shadow of them former selves.

Probably should've been a lot more Salisbury North had terrible kicking at goal with about half a dozen out on the full.

there is no ladder predictor on any ladders div 1 to div 7 but is on all C comps?

And leave the rangas alone as well!

In the absence of a more suitable thread... I am so concerned about the head high rule interpretation which effectively encourages, and I reckon some sides are coached to do it, risking a neck injury by charging in with the head down to draw the free kick. As a health professional, I think it is the most ridiculous state of affairs when the umps are protecting the players head when the player is deliberately putting themselves at risk.
And I don't think our "amateur" umpires are up to interpreting the rule properly, I have never seen a free kick awarded against someone for charging whilst doing it. It's time for common sense to prevail before someone ends up quadraplegic.

So coaches tell there players to charge into packs head first you reckon? Turn it up

Nup it's driven by the AFL. Umpires and players get drawn into the interpretation of the rule on TV and expect it it be the same at their level.

Never heard of a coach telling their players to duck their head into an oncoming player.

The rule is a bit ridiculous though. Every week I see at least 1-2 free kicks given where a player deliberately ducks into a tackler. The umpires are instructed to pay that as a free kick though. I've spoken to the umps during the game about this, and they agree that it shouldn't be a free kick, but they have been instructed to pay them as free kicks by head office. So it needs to be taken up with them.

People will never be satisfied - umpires protecting the ball player at all times - any head high contact is penalised - and if a player "ducks" and seems to be doing it constantly - the umpire reports it to the coach and the matter is dealt with there. Expecting umpires to make a judgement call on whether a player ducks, or slips - in a millisecond - is pure folly - especially in lower grades where their level of expertise may not be as high as higher grades.

It's a simple rule - protect the ball player and any head high contact should be penalised - storm in a tea cup.....
