Brayden Bennett?

Yep. Apparently king hit directly in front of the camera filming the game likely to have the operation tonight. 2 plates and screws likely to be inserted

Fair to say we haven’t heard the end of this one.

It was hard to pick up initially as it wasn't in a scuffle and there was niggle between the two, but yeah, it doesn't look good for him.

92 minute mark?

8-10 games. See ya pal.

8.

See ya? Has he had games before? I can't recall seeing him in the naughty corner previously.

1: The Units look like they need to get out on the track more, it made my feet itchy.
2: Fair set of mutton chops the ump has going on.

Don't know if they had an off day, but they look a very average outfit with some lazy footballers.

12 games. If he pisses off for five years and behaves himself the League can consider re-registering him a la Callum Hay.

Punching someone looking the other direction, behind play. What possible basis is there to give someone a second chance in those circumstances?

Maybe contact dartfish direct, they'd be able to help.

As someone that used to tape games a fair bit - even your tiny little sony camcorder at $200 did the trick. Could possibly even pick one up cheaper on marketplace or scumtree

Thanks FC. I think we will go with a entry level jobbie for now. Plenty on Scumtree to get us started for bugger all.

A suburban footballer whose punch has left an opponent in hospital with a broken jaw says he is “ashamed” by his actions.

Mawson Lakes player Brayden Bennett will front the Adelaide Footy League’s tribunal tonight charged with striking Central United’s Nathan Fenwick during the clubs’ division six game at Mawson Lakes Oval on Saturday.

Fenwick, a 300-game Bulldogs veteran who is also the club’s football director, has been in the Royal Adelaide Hospital since midday yesterday and is undergoing surgery to repair his jaw today.

Bennett told Messenger Community News he did not want sympathy and was sorry to Fenwick and his family.

“I’m ashamed by it, to be honest,” Bennett said.

“It’s not how I want to conduct myself as a person.

“I just want to apologise to Nathan and his family.

“I spoke to him after the game and apologised to him then as well.

“He said he was sore and I didn’t realise that he was as bad as he was.

“I don’t want to walk onto a footy field and do that to a bloke — it’s not the reason I play footy.

“I just hope he’s able to get back to work and his family life as quickly as he can, and also get back to playing footy as soon as possible.”

Umpires did not report Bennett on the day but Central United brought the incident, which was captured on video, to the league’s attention today.

Central United president Lauri Haronen would not comment about the matter but said Fenwick was feeling “hungry” because he was unable to eat solids.

Haronen said Fenwick, a line marker by trade, could not work at the moment and might not be able to play again this season.

League chief executive John Kernahan did not want to comment before tonight’s tribunal hearing.
