Interesting nothing on Mirabella from Sth Morn again- must not have turned up again.
Just to set the record straight.
2 players from Sth Mornington did not turn up last night.
One was Mirabella who still faces a charge, I believe, arising out of the Cobras game 2 games back.
The second was the player who was alleged to have recieved an elbow from S. Smith of BH. He was a no show and was given 2 weeks for his lack of presentation.
S. Smith of BH was charged with elbowing. After the umpire viewed the incident on the DVD submitted by BH, he had a change of heart. Agree Smith was only trying to push his opponent away. His opponent was running hard at a wrestle taking place after the half time siren. Smith was tring to push him away, but in attempting this he connected with the Tigers player's head. The umpire and the tribunal agreed to downgrade the charge to high contact and Smith was out for 2. Had he been found guilty of an elbow he would have recieved at least 4.
The other rider here is that given what happened to BH captain a few seasons ago, loosing most of his voice box from a behind the play elbow, BH have a really hard policy on their own if they are to raise an elbow. An elbow from a BH player could see him dismissed from the club.
Interesting that BH had not had a player at the tribunal, reported anyway, for 3 seasons. Given some recent history of our new member club from the coast; maybe it is time for the VAFA to have a little chat about discipline.
