Who was this?

Postby JS SPORTS » Sat Sep 12, 2009 11:58 pm

Which SAAFL Executive member who was officiating at a grand final today did not present the medals to players individually?
Was all too quick to hand them to a club official still in the plastic bag whilst saying something like,
" I'm not giving these out, you can do it tonight back at your club"

Smells of 'bad loser' syndrome to me. I guess that's what happens to some when you have an affiliation with a losing club.

They didn't give them out after the D5R game....

Yeah mate I was behind there at times, I spent the rest of the day under the verandah.

Your boys had a good following in the north-western pocket, that bloke running around the outer wing with the CLG flag seemed to conveniently stop just before he got to the Paralowie congregation. Good move I thought. :D

That prick ran past us on the bench. Let him go the first time but when he went to run back we told him in that if he does that flag will be stuck somewhere unpleasent.

Every Grand Final I have ever watched over many years, the medals have ALWAYS been presented to players individually and on the ground along with the cup and pennant to the Captain/Coach.

Im pretty sure the delegate in question offered to hand them out at the ground, but also gave the option for the club to have them handed out by themselves at the club, in which they chose to do so.

Fair call if that was the case, no argument with that.

I would argue...

Every team and every player for that matter deserves their 5 seconds in the sun if they win a GF.....

Some people may never win another one, so they have every right to expect their medal after the siren in front of the crowd!

Maybe a fair call but the decision was left upto Heccies and they chose to do it their way. Personally if i had just played a GF i would probably prefer it handed to me by my coach and captain in the club rooms with the supporters back there instead of on the ground...just my feeling though.
