I've never seen this Hackham lad play but it is the same lad involved with all these incidents. It appears the umpires themselves are intimidated to take any real proper action against him which just angers everyone else at the ground. I believe the Cove waterboy was a minor as well, so I don't think it was an adult assaulting a kid. We copped our punishment after the regrettable incident a fortnight ago but its now happened again at their next home game involving the same player. Where's our friend with his moving Heavy Metal Avatar with his comment on this one.

Cyclops, if you saw a physically mature 16 year old kid bullying or belting a smaller 16 year old, wouldn't you step in to protect the smaller kid and probably give a clip to the other one in the process. I'm not saying this can be carried out on the sporting field but its not as simple as saying that an adult can't touch a kid. There are plenty of 14 to 17 year kids who deserve to cop the shoe on the other foot and receive the same treatment as to what they hand out to others.

Here i am mate. I wasnt at the 16s game this week so all i know about it is what i was told when i got there just before the B grade. This is what i have heard. The hackham player was sticking up for a smaller hackham player in a wrestle. Im not sure if punches were thrown, but from watching a fair bit of the 16s this year im yet to see him punch someone. Its mostly words and a bit of push and shove.


I totally agree with cyclops as well. You can break up a fight without throwing punches. So if you punch a kid, your a gutless wanker. I boundry umpired for the 16s early in the year and the same hackham player was racially abused by the oposition runner from the bench. He is targeted by teams and provoked.

This might seem like a biased opinion but i hate my club coming into the spotlight for these reasons and if i genuinely believed the Hackham player was totally at fault i would say so.

MR JUICY are u serious? when a marion player tries to take out our best player we were not gonna stand back and let that happen. We flew the flag as they say!
marion players threw the first punch and if a couple come out worse for ware maybe next time they should have second thoughts! there were a few of us in the club having a drink as i was drinking with tarque williamson for about 15 minutes. so i dont kno where u were maybe spending ur doll money in the pokies! as for marion they out played us on the day and all the best with the rest of the year!

Maybe you blokes should have second thoughts about goin the knuckle, you might win a few more games.
And I'm pretty sure YOU guys threw the first punch, ableit before the first bounce.
Don't throw stones in a glass house...

I know how the SFL could improve...change the S to a U, leave the F as is, and change the L to a C...thats what it seems its coming to.

Any adult that is physically violent towards a minor deserves to be locked up, with incidents involving officials and players escalating of late look for the SFL to initiate some large penalties for those found guilty of these assaults. If they don't someone is going to be seriously hurt one of these days.
The SFL are weak if they don't, bit like their response to the C grade game a few years ago that was called off due to all in brawls. Weak as. Step up SFL

[Courtney Fish]

They are stepping up, a Lonsdale A grade player missed last week for as the umpy said "a low to medium level strike to the players body".

[Down the Hill]

One shouldn't be racist when doing it, but why do you think anyone gets verbally targeted HH3. Dave Granger and Barry Hall got targeted for abuse as well. Why is that ? Even Cyclops who has been your ally on this issue referred to the player in question as a "sniper". For any Under 16 to have developed a reputation at such a young age to be considered a sniper has got some serious issues that don't belong on a footy field. Its a bit sad that the best known player in your club is an Under 16 player.

[Down the Hill]

Sorry to have done it on such a touchy emotive subject but during an Ashes series I have to raise the bat for bringing up the double-ton.

Thank you to my fellow forummers for touching my nerves enough to make me want to post 200 times. It all started with the Simper affair during Grand Final week of 2007.

[shoe boy]

The finals venue's and draw are out and I note Porties have 2 finals at their ground.

Will the ground be ready?
If not will these games be played at South Adelaide?

That's one option I've heard them talking about, SB.
Imagine spending all September on windy hill.

Pretty Ugly incident down at Hackham in the 16s game. Not sure with the lead up (Words said) as i was on the outer in my car but a Cove water boy who wasnt playing ran down a Hawks player walking away from behind and layed a hit. The hawks coaches box emptied as coaches, players officals began to tussle i did see a hawks coach or assistant (Was on the bench) run in first and lay a few on the young lad. The young lad was escorted away and club officals are seething at him and from what Ive heard around will be told to leave and police are know involved hopefully some charges are laid but with all that has happened this week why are the coaches the ones responding? Dirtiest act ive seen by the kid but for adults to hit kids is not on.

Not sure who he is as im involved with the 14s more but had the Hawks properly responded the lad would and still will be dealt with properly. And in no way am i sticking up for the kid he should be banned for life its just a disgrace on the Cove FC and SFL when people like Ralph Platten and co have worked so hard to erase these incidents.

Did the ump report anyone during this game??? Players/officials??

What about our own grounds Valley, Edwardtown, Marion etc.

[MR JUICY]

Rise to the top, I know you were in their for a bit - 1 bloke out of 21 not bad. Cheers for coming in - your a good bloke and I am just merely pointing out - the carry on for the whole last half put the umpies against you blokes and your players/coaches/supporters simply lost the plot. Think we all move on as sh*t happens like this and we both have big games for the remainder of the season. Best players get targeted all the time, its how they deal with it and how the team deals with it to how the result goes - you blokes need to improve the way you handle it if you have any plans of playing finals. Good luck for the rest of the year.

[Panther32]

Is this the direction we are all going in sport?

I think we need to stamp this out straight away, kids hitting kids, goal umpires and water boys getting stuck into kids, all need to be punished, especially the adults who aren't actually playing, should be banned for a minimum of a year. Be there to support the kids and help them improve and have fun, not intimidate them.

With all due respect CF you cant play a final at Edwardstown. Where would you park? just with our minor round game we had 6 cars with parking fines.
You may get a car park at Castle Plaza and then bus it or taxi.
Nice oval that is about it.

[Jono]

Shoe boy are you able to post the finals and venues on here and let us know where to check them out?
Surely Porties would not be ready for finals if it is as bad as we are hearing!

[dodgingandweaving]

Would the teams be prepared to play there? Who knows how far the glass has embedded in the ground, a bit of rain could quite easily bring it to the surface......
