The League Seconds administration later declared it a "no match" (no match points were awarded) and St Kilda was fined five pounds ($10) for their actions.An interesting result from the final Reserves round of 1934, when St. Kilda scored either 0.1 or 0.2. This was the write-up from The Age:
Twelve minutes after play commenced in the match between St. Kilda and Carlton, with the scores 1.0 to 0.2 in favour of Carlton, owing to the very heavy rain, W. Cubbins, captain of St. Kilda, took his men off the ground. He was followed off by the umpires and then by the Carlton players. After a lot of argument, Cubbins refused to take his men back. R. Job, the Carlton captain, again took his men on to the field. Umpire Hayes then bounced the ball, and White kicked another goal for Carlton, and all players then left the field, with the scores Carlton 2.0, St. Kilda 0.1.
President of the Seconds, F.W. Gardiner said, "We are hoping that this will be a lesson to other clubs, to guide their coaches and captains. If this sort of thing goes on, it will bring the game down to the level of schoolboys' football." Argus 26 September 1934.
The Seconds at the time was much more autonomous of the VFL than when it later became the "Reserves" and would no doubt have been mindful of preserving its relative independence by demonstrating to the VFL that they were not conducting a "Mickey Mouse" competition.
