Henley kicked a few goals late to make the score respectable, including a cheapie when Gullies had 19 men on the ground. Menzel 4.6...got the hard ones and missed the easy ones. Great win by Gullies given they have some quality players missing.
Did TTG have their score to that point in the game wiped for having 19 players on the field?
No, I thought that rule was changed years ago. Now a free kick and 50 metre penalty, which is what was paid today. Nothing sinister from TTG. They had a player down injured and play stopped. He was being assisted from the ground by trainers when the interchange player ran on. Game was restarted before the injured player was off the ground. Count taken and free kick awarded to Henley for an easy goal.
Interestingly enough something similar happened to Waikerie last weekend and I'm pretty sure that was well after halftime, maybe even into the last quarter. Just found this in the rules and regulations on the SAAFL.
5.5.3 Players Exceeding Permitted Number
Where a Team has more than the permitted number of Players on the
Playing Surface, the following shall apply:
(a) a field Umpire shall award a Free Kick to the captain or acting
captain of the opposing Team, which shall be taken at the Centre
Circle or where play was stopped, whichever is the greater penalty
against the offending Team;
(b) a Fifty-Metre Penalty shall then be imposed from the position
where the Free Kick was awarded; and
(c) the Team shall lose all points which it has scored in the Match up
to the time of the count.
