Without any knowledge, What was SW behaviour like during the year? was this a one off incident or were there on going issue throughout the year?

for what its worth I highly doubt any club will vote 'yes' as they wont want to be seen as a club that condones this type of behaviour.

Agree I think most northern clubs show support for one another when backs are against the wall so I would be surprised if Salisbury North, Salisbury, Central United, Eastern Park, Smithfield and Elizabeth voted against SW being allowed back in the competition.

Hopefully this answers your question, 27 games from 4 reports for this one person.

I can’t see the vote being overturned purely on the basis that clubs will go with what the league want. Some club delegates pushing agendas of their own based on grudges from previous dealings as well (PNU v SW bloodbath GF for example) wont help SW’s situation.

What's the formula for the rating?

All other clubs appear to be (Games + Reports) / Teams, however SW would come out at 11, not 8.3?

If you list them at 11, and then everyone else as 6 or lower, it really shows a massive gap and a clear indication that they shouldn't be playing.

If their teams was actually 4, then you get 8.25 (or 8.3 in their chart to 1 DP), and even there, that's a fair wack above the second worst of the 70-odd clubs, let alone the average.

Think people need to remember this isn’t a decision based purely on one player being reported - this is the culmination of year and year of incidents, and an apparent lack of regard or action from the club leading up to this.

In recent memory off the top of my head there was the ruck who got a life ban, 18’s removed from finals, C grade removed from the competition and that’s just in the last few years.

Good luck to them in their efforts to stay afloat, but one would think they’re pushing shit up hill.

10 reports and 59 games worth of suspension in the last two years?
Only had the two sides this year too if I'm looking at it correctly.

pretty sure 6 or 7 of those reports,and 27 of those matches were against the one person in one match. That would be the Adam Jones incident against trinity this year. that kinda skews the stats but probably works into the narrative certain people want..

not sure off the top of my head, but i reckon since 2014 Salisbury west have been in the tribunal, and been found guilty 3, maybe 4 times..... less then Modbury, PAC, FFC, Henley, and Seaton... but thats off the top of my head. someone correct me if i'm wrong

"Works into the narrative certain people want.." - give up on the conspiracy theories. :lol: :lol:

Dear all. It is entirely appropriate to offer some relativity in response to any of an email, text or private message via Facebook as copied below from a member of the Salisbury West Football Club. The same communique has prompted attention from Member Clubs as well as some sections of mainstream media with respect to the Salisbury West FC and their appeal to the General Committee to overturn The League Executive’s decision to deny the Salisbury West FC affiliation for season 2019.

The League Executive were hopeful of retaining some control over the information at its disposal that allowed it make the decision it has with a high degree of confidence and in turn discuss “in camera” next Monday Night with its members. It needs to be made very clear that The League’s position is that as a collective, it has endured more than enough publicity over this matter and it is only in response to a member of the Salisbury West FC making it a public issue again and a separate email to some from an official of the SWFC, that The League must respond accordingly.

Whilst self-serving to the argument to re-admit the Salisbury West Football Club to the competition for season 2019, much has been made of Adam Jones and his offences and how that alone has embroiled the Salisbury West FC to this situation.

Adam Jones’ very well publicised offence simply brought the Salisbury West Football Club before The League Executive in response to what was already an ongoing matter for The League. At the completion of the 2017 Season and not for the first time, the Salisbury West FC were made aware of ongoing concerns The League had in their ability to supervise young men playing football and satisfy our very transparent ethos of providing a safe environment for all. As a result of repeated offences over an extended period of time, the Salisbury West FC were placed on the most serious and final of any Amended Affiliation Agreement any club has been subject to and one they agreed to abide by. It is fair to suggest that clubs are not placed on the most serious of AAA for any simple or single reason and nor does the League Executive subject a club to that finality without cause.

Whilst there is a list of offences and concerns, The League has referred to dating as far back as the year 2000, consider these:

A precis of considerations

1. Since the year 2000, Players, officials and or members of the Salisbury West FC have been found guilty of a range of breaches on and off the field totalling 87 in reports and 276 matches worth of suspensions.
2. Whilst there is one other Member Club close to that number who will be addressed in time, those numbers are some 40% higher than the 3rd worst behaved club over the same period.
3. If we make those very specific numbers relative to the last two seasons, representatives from the Salisbury West FC have amassed 10 reports totalling 59 matches.
4. It is safe to assume that 59 matches worth of suspensions is indicative of the seriousness of those offences that have resulted in
a. a Broken Jaw
b. a Broken Nose
c. a depressed fracture of the cheekbone.
5. In the last 2 years, it would need 25 member clubs to amass the same number of reports and more specifically, 37 clubs to accumulate the number of matches suspended in which representatives from the Salisbury West FC have alone.
6. In season 2018, it would need 36 clubs to amass the same number of reports and 51 clubs (75% of clubs) to accumulate the number of matches suspended in which representatives from the Salisbury West FC have alone.
7. In season 2017, the Salisbury West FC made a decision of their own volition to withdraw their U18 team on the eve of a Preliminary Final because they could not guarantee The League that members of their U/18 team could or would adhere to The League’s code of conduct.
8. That at the completion of season 2017 when asked for a reasoning as to why The League should accept their affiliation for season 2018, The Salisbury West FC offered a plagiarised and re-dated letter from 2007 when the then management of the Adelaide Footy League (SAAFL) asked them the same question.
a. The question begs to be asked why we are currently being challenged with the same problems in 2018 when in 2007, the Salisbury West FC offered reasoning as to how they were going to address the concerns of the day to which are still apparent today.

We accept any of those injuries as listed in 4a, 4b, and 4c could occur in a match of football through a clash of heads or any other innocuous type incident considered an accident, accidents that happen in a match of football we all accept have elements of risk playing. But they did not. They were incurred through acts of violence that if the perpetrator initiated these incidents on the street could quite likely spend some time in jail. Whilst not for this forum, the details of how at least one of those incidents were able to happen will be detailed on Monday Night.

The stanza in the letter advising the Salisbury West FC that their application for affiliation had been denied sums the views of the League Executive the most succinctly being:

- “The League believes it has offered the Salisbury West Football Club (SWFC) ample opportunity to implement strategies to address ongoing concerns. Whilst we acknowledge an effort to address member conduct, we are not confident that sufficient change can be effected in the relatively short space of time leading up to the commencement of the 2019 season.”

On behalf of the League Executive, allow me to be very clear. The Salisbury West FC has not been denied affiliation because Adam Jones offended and any suggestion by the Salisbury West FC to divert responsibility to Adam Jones is unfair on him. The League has denied the Salisbury West Football Club affiliation because The Executive of the league has little confidence the Salisbury West FC have the necessary skills and or culture to mitigate the risk of anything similar occurring again and in turn unnecessarily putting others from any other Member Club of The League at risk whether on or off the field, yours included.

Before any club decides to vote in favour of the Salisbury West FC’s motion to have the League Executive’s decision overturned, ask yourself if as a club you are willing to accept the responsibility as a club or individual to speak on behalf of The League next year or even the year after as a result of a member of the Salisbury West FC breaching again and in an incident causing as much poor publicity on The League as those in years past after the League Executive in the role as League Directors have identified a risk in their duty of care to you and your own members.

For and on behalf of The League Executive

hmm, based on that email, isn't point 2, 5 and 6 a manipulation of the stats? and it's a tad harsh to be bringing stuff up from over 10 years ago.

when we look at 2014 onwards. i'm quite certain there has been a new committee in place since that time? as i said someone correct meif i'm wrong.

Manipulation of stats lol.. ok lets put it in simple terms then..

AdFL - You're on your last warning.
SW - Mess it up.
AdFL - This is your final final warning
SW - Mess it up.
AdFL - Right, seriously, last warning.
SW - Mess it up.
AdFL - See ya pal
SW - Don't blame us for one mans actions.

Look at a club like Smithfield, they were walking a fine line a few years ago, and have turned it around, don't even recall the last suspension they received - that's a club making a proper effort, not shifting the blame.

Another way to look at it is the lack of due diligence or apparent lack of care in some matters.

For instance the ruckman who copped the suspensions in 2017 - from memory copped half a dozen games or more early in the season for a violent act.. came straight back in after his suspension and first or second game back head-butted and broke the nose of an opposition player well off the ball. One bloke, two incidents in one year.

Other clubs in similar positions under the heat I imagine would've kindly asked him to leave the club after the first incident, or at least put something in place to show they dealt with it internally or had something in place to minimise the risk of it happening again - but they didn't.

Same with Jones in the GF. Reported for how ever many offences it was and played the game out. Granted the umpires didn't see it, but surely team mates or coaching staff would've picked up on his volatile state - and should've actioned on it - but didn't.

Fact is, they cry hard done by, but they've shown very little to suggest they've made efforts to change.

Is it harsh? No, it shows form.

New committee with one common denominator.

What most people also don't remember, is that The league have even reversed the de-registration of one of their players and it took him all of about 5 weeks to f*** up again.

I've pieced this together from some old spreadsheets, so it might not be exactly 100%, but I'm fairly confident it's close:

Since 2014 I count 12 times a SW player has been found guilty at the tribunal, only 4 of which were Adam Jones incident in the recent final.
In those 5 years, SW has had 2,1,2,3,2 teams. So call that 1.2 guilty offenses per team per year.

Modbury have filled 28 teams over that same period, for an average of 0.57 guilty offenses per team.
Seaton 10 guilty, 15 sides = 0.67
PAC 8/26 = 0.31
Henley 11/21 = 0.52

Without having any such spreadsheet I'd tend to suspect that SW's 1.2 offences per team per year were higher end of the scale incidents too.
