D3 2018 Division 3

[table tennis]

And players rotate, and have water available on the bench. So its not that big a farce

 

[Phantom Strobler]

All in all the umps on Saturday were OK just pedantic with the rules. At least they were consistent and players knew where they stood.

Aquinas v Richmond
Hawthorn v Manningham
Swinburne v Albert Park
Westbourne v Canterbury
GE v La Trobe

never seen a penalty for being in the middle during play, i thought it was just stay out of the 50s when the balls there :/ very stiff!

(iii) Water Carriers: Each team is allowed four water carriers who are to
deliver water after a goal has been scored and before the ball is
bounced in the centre to restart play.
(iv) If an umpire deems that any of the officials listed in (i), (ii) or (iii) are
not correctly performing their duties as listed, the Field Umpire will
award a free kick against the offending team. If the same official
offends again then he/she is to be removed. However the official may
be replaced.
(v) Water Carriers are NOT allowed within 30 metres of the coaches boxes
at any time during matches.
They are not to deliver messages to players, or to remain on the
ground once water has been delivered.

It's not often enforced at a lower level. The higher up the tree you go the more the club helpers are expected to know and abide by the rules. When you've got a couple of kids and an old bloke who didn't run fast enough when the team manager had a handful of water carrier bibs... you'd think the umpire would use some discretion, speak politely to any water carriers hanging around, and let them know what they are doing is wrong before paying a free kick against them. Certain people just don't get the message though.

Unfortunately there are different kids who do water each week on a first in basis to make a few bucks a pie and a dri. Most have a fair understanding of the rules but team managers haven't time to give instructions. They are just happy to get helpers. Last year a certain club insisted our water boy be replaced because he looked too young. Could hear animals close by. Haha.

Thank goodness they cared. Under 15 not covered by VAFA insurance.

HAHA - OH MY​

PS Give these 30/40 rotating waterboys a brief instruction sheet if your T M hasn't got time or cares!

A good defence against free kicks is to make sure one of the water carriers runs into the middle every couple of goals to attend to the hydration/cooling of the fluoro oddballs. Same at the quarter time breaks. Just sayin'.

Umpires are well taken care of at GE during and after game. By the way EYE the free kick against the water boy was brought up by the opposition
GE didn't object or complain because umps followed the rules correctly. Our mistake.

WHAT CLUB WOULD RISK YOUNG CHILDREN?

The same ones who can't find anyone else to do it and promise them a pie and a can of drink after the game?

Flog. My 6 year old is always eager to run water in my vets games.

You are too fond of having a swing at everyone and everything. Show some testicular fortitude and come out and say who you support. Or you are Michael sholly and I claim my $10

Just in case anyone is suggesting GE are using under age water boys or girls we don't do that. Also any smart comments that they are only getting a pie and a drink can't read. Did you not read they also get some payment. Mountains out of molehill ruin this thread.

 

[Over The Post]

Wasn't referring to GE at all, PS. Was fondly remembering my days at Westbourne as a club umpire and volunteer, with two boys playing juniors and me doing seniors on a Saturday. Pie and a drink was the going rate for water carriers. Really young ones got a hot dog in return for doing the scoreboard, although they usually needed adult help with the maths and interest waned after two quarters.

FLOG now that hurts! I'll read between the lines for you. Players can go without water rather than risking under age children doing it. Happy for you to have a different point of view.

What do you think of 10 year olds doing boundary? That happens far more often.

Same thing if they belong to the club and are injured - club liable. Why would you do it?

Look out the fun police is back...VAFA (no idea) why don't you tell us what you have done to contribute to a club ?.
These kids running water look forward to being involved with their dad's , it's memories shared for life !.
You get on here and pot clubs left right and center but refuse to identify who you support, you must be a sad person to be around .

My 4 kids played, officiated and one achieved the highest accolade being Pres. Now my grand children are starting the cycle again. A great contribution.
