Hmmm.
I agree. I had a pretty good view of the game, and you'd think you'd remember if someone did two offences that amounted to a 15 game suspension...
Quite right about the involvement of the Rostrevor players too. As I mentioned earlier, it does take two sides to engage in a melee.
I notice the SAAFL website has re-worded that particular charge against Callum Hay from '
EIaM - Engaging in a Melee' to '
ERC - Engaging in rough conduct against an opponent which in the circumstances is unreasonable'. Probably just as well, because just about everyone was involved, apart from the players sitting on the interchange bench.
