When you have the act on video it's a pretty bloody good start.

Hell, when two people are down one end of the field in 100 metres of space and one ends up unconscious or serverely injured it's a pretty good start.


Whilst the footage was damning, there is nothing showing any events leading up to the incident. Could be a retaliation incident?


I very much do not subscribe to any two wrongs make a right view.

You know I like you LGIL but that is a pathetic statement. It's 2018 mate, not 1978 on a typically cold windy day at Bice Oval. But feel free to believe that every CBFC player suspension over the years that your player was actually the victim not the offender.

No certainly not, but it was in discussion around having a mandatory life ban for anything that occurs behind the play. I am all for having severe penalties for cowardly acts like this, and nothing excuses a penalty, but an offence has to be taken into context when it is being suggested to give the player a life sentence.

I think the example being set by the AdelFL is having the desired results.

The player hit seems to be #26. Simon Brooks is not the guy you would go after in retaliation. Having played against him for over 10years, he ain’t the bloke who dishes anything out. Plays it fairer than anyone.

Looks like the Victorians have higher standards than our tribunal, automatic 16 games and Australia wide de-registration for this elbow.

This might be the wrong thread for it, but what are people's thoughts regarding automatic 12 week deregistering suspensions for intentional, high, severe, off-ball hits?

I tend to think it's 2018, people should know better now, why bother with second chances?


Bit harsh on our leagues tribunal jo172. I think we all agree that they have handed out penalties in recent years on the harsher end of the scale compared to previous standards but that we all applaud their stance. Assuming first offence for the TTG player then 8 games seems about right considering it was a concussion injury and no broken face. A fair chance that Victorian bloke had a previous record which may have contributed to dishing out 16 games plus a weekend in hospital with a badly broken jaw for the victim probably means the incident was worth double the penalty.


I realise I may have a minority (even solitary) view. But I tend to think anything high/behind play/severe should get you the automatic 12 for life. Don't care first offence.

My post comes off as a criticism of the tribunal itself which is unintended and i retract. More the guidelines which we as a league accept. Why don't we have a guideline saying that the guideline for some conduct is an automatic life ban? Why are we relying on areas of discretion when instead we could have an instant deterrent?


Totally agree those kind of acts don't deserve second chances, no sport in the world including MMA would allow such thuggery as seen on that Vic league video. Those guys who carry themselves on the field like that are the minority and should be dealt with accordingly with life bans to make footy leagues safe for the vast majority of players out there for the right reasons

Why would you let a bloke with a fitted tracking bracelet play for your club in the first place? If that’s not a prior warning of their potential onfield behaviour then I don’t know what is!

Especially if the reason for the bracelet is due to an assault type incident, opens the club and league up for a liability suit

Don't agree with that myself. A bloke on Home D or wearing a tracker has many other ways to reintegrate than playing one of the most openly physical sports on the planet against other members of the general public. Even if he volunteered for the club. All it takes is one instance during a match to put him or someone else in a very difficult position. Reckless by his football club in my opinion. There is a time when they could play him again no doubt, but not when he's serving some sort of punishment.

Meanwhile back in Div 1, ROCS smash TTG by about 70 points. Dominant all over the ground.

Everyone deserves a chance to play their part in society, they go to jail to be rehabilitated for their actions, football is the outlet to many that are released back into the community.

Does this still happen?
DCS - SAAFL Prisoner Umpiring program
Partnering with the South Australian Amateur Football League (SAAFL) the department has developed a program to engage prisoners as SAAFL Umpires.

This program aims to contribute to the rehabilitation of prisoners and to address the shortage of umpires available to officiate local games. One of the most significant factors that can contribute to a reduction in an offender’s risk of re-offending is the establishment of pro-social connections in the community.

This program provides an opportunity for prisoners to establish positive relationships and participation in the program may also help to build positive skills and encourage further training and enhanced employment opportunities upon release.

The program was established and implemented in a manner which ensured sustainability.
