SAAFL division 6 2014

[woofwoof]

I made it clear to the playing group if I heard one bloke blame anything else but them/ourselves I'd punch who ever said it straight in the mouth. Love the time keeper or hate him he does it week in week out for the love of the club. Volenters are extremily hard to come by.

I actually heard those exact words coming from Careys mouth after the game and was quite impressed. Was a weird feeling after the game, I must admit. Don't know if anyone else realised but the second quarter went over by about 4 1/2 minutes. I then jokingly said to our manager " I wonder if they actually do time off/time on or just blow the siren at somewhere around the 28 minute mark"

I'm pretty sure they asked us if we wanted to play straight 20 something minutes and not do time on.

Im sure he asked did you want to play a straight 27min 1/4s, others teams have done this in the last couple of seasons, stops the 40 min quarters you get a t bos.

Flat quarters with the allowance of time on/off as the umpire(s) see fit e.g slow ball return after goal or serious injury... I like it.

Really.....who is going to define "slow" ball return...Good luck in getting a consensus on that one......and by serious injury do we mean a compound fracture or just some loud screaming from someone clutching his nuts.....

[Yank Man]

Whos that with the pink hair?

Lucky for him he goes hard and can play. Most would get heaps thrown at them for turning up like that, but he just goes hard at the footy and uses it well too.

And PG our last 2 weeks have been camouflaged by our oppositions injury list and wet weather. 3 goals to 1 at 1/4 time Saty then 24 to zip. If that's improvement then I'm watching the wrong game. Ingle Farm by lots.

Could be a quiet day at Lockleys this Saturday. With the C's meant to be playing Hectorville and the A's & B's playing Angle Vale and all those sides forfeiting last weekend, it doesn't look good for our home triple-header.

A Grade forfeit against Angle Vale
B Grade forfeit against Angle Vale
C Grade forfeit against Hectorville
U18 forfeit against Smithfield

Not a great weekend. Hopefuly your boys get a game this weekend!

Why does there need to be a consensus? What is wrong with putting the power in the hands of the umpire? Surely you can tell after a goal if the ball coming back is taking a while and affecting the game time... like when everyone is standing there in position waiting and waiting.

Serious injury, no different to the way B grade is at the moment - they dont have time off, but umpires do still blow for time off when an injured player is either affecting play/going to be in the way or a stretcher/assistance from the field is required. It's not rocket science

That's if MP turn up.
Morell did say don't be surprised if his club had to forfeit a game in the future.
Could this week be the one?

[morell]

30 minutes quarters!?! Who are you, Steve Moneghetti?

He must be allowing for when teams play Mitchell Park and kick 15 goals a quarter

15 goals a quarter means 60 goals, but cool story bro. Good one.

Hmmm...an opportunity to screw over Ingle Farm ....

[Robb_Stark]

lol no matter what goes on in the thread it always comes back to ingle farm

Must have been a massive pain in the arse re bar/canteen takings. At least you didn't miss out on A Grade home games I guess.

EDIT (I'm not without sympathy to the plight of Angle Vale it's just that well organised clubs will budget for those takings and the unforeseeable missing of games can impact the bottom line)

?

He did say kick 15 goals in a quarter, didn't say it had to be every quarter of the match

Hahaha, no but Rosewater got close in round 2.

Don't worry Farmers we WILL turn up and so will the crabs. Hopefully we can pass them on.

Sadly the loss of income doesn't only equate to home clubs, we would normally have 100+ people at presentation & still 30 there at 10:00pm, the club wasn't even open Saturday night......

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good yarn ay.. Slightly embellished

It seems your suggesting umpires interpret the rules consistently and in a unified manner......My observations are that umpires are not exactly glorified on this forum for their power to uniformly to interpret the existing rules week in week out... Saying that, I actually believe the umpiring that I have seen in recent years has improved markedly.

My point regarding consensus is that no two umpires will interpret a "slow play" the same way and whether they act or fail to act will become more a point of conjecture than not upon which they will cop a hiding from. e.g. drilling goals from a set shot close in front of the sticks to some fifty meters beyond the posts onto a roadway or into a creek or a suspect out on the full to eat up the clock......would you say that is time wasting or in the normal course of play as it is in the B's for which the umps do not call time on......

And I'd bet there more than a couple of old stagers who would know how to hold up the oppositions momentum with a dickey knee calling for a halt to play.....not hard as many on here think the umps haven't got a clue anyway....

Using club volunteers to time manage whilst is questionable at times, I think it its the lesser of two evils when using time off and on.....IMO. No biggie...

Quote "Flat quarters with the allowance of time on/off as the umpire(s) see fit e.g slow ball return after goal or serious injury"

With serious injury (what ever their ruling) it would be the umpire's call and can signal it immediately to the time keeper. What happens with 'slow play' eg getting the ball back to the centre. An umpire will not if there is an unacceptable time or not until after the event and then how do they communicate to the time keeper how much extra time will need to be played. If you want to go this way you need to go the way of soccer and get the umpire to time keep. Then it would be completely neutral and no team could complain.
From all of my time involved with the game i can only remember a couple of times when there has been really bad time keeping. Maybe most of the games haven't been close enough for the time keeper to influence the result, but I believe that most are making a mountain out of a mole hill. As others have said if a time keeper from each club get together there should be little problems.
Only trouble with the umpire doing the time keeping is that they need to spend all their time trying to umpire and I would hate to see their performance if they had to do 2 jobs at the same time.

Like paying attention enough to give out at least semi-realistic association medal votes?
