Just noting Spot On's query I have a question for DTH.
You seem to know a lot about the stats of the MV players (including naming them on this forum which for under 18's players in these circumstances I personally think is a bit ordinary)?
My question is you didn't by some chance do some investigative work after Brighton lost to MV did you? Or are you just by nature a wealth of information?
Yes I am a wealth of information but as Off the Wall has pointed out its all publicly accessible information. Clubs don't make a habit of checking opposition team sheets after each final to confirm that everyone is properly qualified. I think we all assume the SFL would do this. Yes it would be time consuming but after whats happened what choice do they now have. Plus we all put our trust in fellow clubs that they understand and abide by the rules. MV thought they were OK with this player but they made an error in interpretation. It was only queried in the 24 hours after the GF so I can only assume this was done by someone associated with Cove. All very messy and I think we all wish it was just a bad dream because its taken the gloss off a great finals series across all grades.
