http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-17/s ... l/10254430

From the article:

Eagles chief executive Luke Powell said the points scored by North Adelaide during those controversial five minutes should not be counted.
"The SANFL has got to put what's best for the integrity of the competition, and until that happens we can't really say what we'd like too much," he said.

All of a sudden integrity is important?

The rule reads like this.

7.2 PROCEDURE FOR INTERCHANGE
The following procedure shall apply to the interchange of Players during
a Match who are listed on the Team Sheet:
(a) unless Law 7.3 applies, the Players intending to interchange shall
leave and enter the Playing Surface through the Interchange Area;
(b) where a Player does not leave or enter the Playing Surface as specified
under Law 7.2 (a), the Interchange Steward and/or a field Umpire shall
report the circumstances to the Controlling Body, including the scores at
the time. The Controlling Body may determine the matter by way of fine,
reversal of Match result or other sanction as it deems appropriate.

The bit in bold is the bit that will get North off the hook. As long as the 19th player came off through the interchange gate, I don't think rule 7.2(b) can come into play which means there can't be a reversal of results.
Unless the SANFL change the wording of the rule which would then get appealed by North in court and most likely get overturned.

There's not going to be a solution here to appease all parties, so one group is gonna have the shits up.

I think the result has to stand, but can understand why it might not and how aggrieved Eagles fans would feel.

North still win.

It sort of does for when the player "came off the ground" through the interchange.

I barrack for the Eagles and am more annoyed that their officials didn't act upon it immediately using the correct channels, I don't think North deliberately cheated, it was pretty dumb all round.

I personally don't think the Eagles have a leg to stand on here.

With the number of interchange stewards and assistant coaches working the boards and magnets, surely someone would have looked around and thought "where's player x?" or "who's meant to be on that loose player?" Cripes, we can work it out even in C5. Quick look around on the bench and make sure there's the same number on the bench that you started the game with less injuries.

North thought they had a player getting medical treatment in the rooms.

North were probably trying to figure out the best way to remove the player without it being obvious, who knows, I agree with you, it makes zero sense in this day and age.

A few years ago maybe 6 or 7 I was injured and controlling the bench as our coach decided to play for the day as injury cover. I realised after about a minute that we had 19 on the field (spare man was forward too) but was trying to work out a way of getting the player off as the i/c steward had already been notified of the changes at the break.
I ended up sending the 2 guys on the bench to do some stretches behind the goals and after we kicked a point the extra player just slipped through the goals and joined them and jogged back to the bench. Was pretty funny watching the guy who was trying to stand him wait for him to come back on the field to man him up before he realised what was going on. Probably took a full 5 minutes before we got him off the ground.
