Swans Reserves beat Belconnen by about 90 points. Belconnen were leading at the first quarter break but it was all Swans after that.Everyone has been fairly quiet of late. Any practice matches played this week? Results?

This rule was used in the old monaro days with send offs for serious offences. Young umpires are going to be hard pressed to send off some of the older players with reputations, not neccessarially reps for foul play but the well credentialled player that this kid may have heard of in the past for a temporary brain explosion, but a neville may not be afforded the same leniency. Leaves the whole thing open to interpretation and therefore very dangerous. At least with a report the umpire is not the judge and jury. What happens in the situation in a tight game with 20 minutes to go and a send off occurs team with less players loses and the player is then found not guilty at the tribuneral. Any takers.
As for my other comment about not liking the new interpretation of the "advantage" rule, we've all been taught all our lives to play to the umpire's whistle and respect his/her decisions (whether you agree with them or not). The new rule now encourages players to ignore the umpire's whistle and make their own judgements on whether to go on with the play or not. I'm not saying that players don't know the rules very well but very often their opinion about an incident differs from the umpire in control and I belive it should still be the umpire's call not the player's as to whether advantage should be applied. It takes some of the confusion away. There was a good example of problems with the new interpretation on the weekend. I think it was the St Kilda v Geelong game on Friday night. The umpire spotted something in a contest, blew his whistle and signalled a free kick. Unfortunately he initially signalled the wrong way (which happens quite often) and a player decided to play on and take the advantage. After he had kicked it, the umpire had to apply a 50m penalty because it wasn't his team's free kick (despite the wrong signal). Allowing players to decide if advantage should apply means they are having a guess at what the umpire may or may not have have seen and encourages them to and take a punt that the free kick is going to their team - thus ignoring the umpire's decision.

foot in mouth, you are an idiot. gois has done more for football than you ever will. didnt your mum tell you jealousy is a curse. gois posts sometimes long but very educated and informative, yours well id rather not sayThank f**k. One sentance instead of a short story from you. Apparently your players feel the same way and fall asleep half way through your talk to them !!

Dont know definately but i cant see the clubs letting some of their best players go and be top ups for a side that is in our league.What's the go with the AFLCanberra boys who played as top-ups for GWS during the NAB Cup/Challenge series? Will they spend 2011 playing with GWS or have they gone back to their local clubs?
