Like to know peoples thoughts on the finals system.....

An A & B grade top 6 - finals footy brings in the big crowds and an extra couple of weeks of finals would be terriffic - a grade especially is over too quick.....

A top 6 out of a 10 team grade does not sit well with me

He did not belt the umpire..

Still a 7 year ban deserves to be reported in the papers.
Also any touching of an umpire deserves such a punishment.
THumbs up to the EDFL for finally taking a hard approach when needed. :thumbsu:

So why does the EDFL site have: Under 18 R Gordon Doutta Stars Abuse, Assaulting & Striking Umpire - 7 years ????

Misprint or have you got your facts wrong?

He threw a punch but the ump ducked so he didnt actually make contact.

East Keilor player i think it was Wittmar got 6 weeks last year for abusing and pushing an umpire so he (doutta U18) must have done something very bad

Some conflicting stories here.
Anyone actually there?
If this one is true then he deserves more than 7 years. He deserves life.

If he simply grabed the ump then I think the 7 year punishment is adequate.

So why didnt you go AJ? Could these clubs not supply enough Hot Dogs and pies? That was a flattering pic of you in the paper the other day. Still enjoy a bourbon or 60? And how is the champ of a younger bro going? Will he be part of the superstar package that is the James family? :thumbsu:

What a load of rubbish! He did not throw or attempt to throw a punch.

I saw with my own two eyes and have also spoken to the player himself since then.

I am not defending his actions, what he did was wrong, but just making sure everyone knows the truth.

As for the newspapers and websites claiming he "struck" the umpire, that is pure bullsh*t.

Everyone's tips for the weekend.

WC v Pacco - WC i hope because Marbi will be better suited playing them than Pacco. WC haven't got the runners to go with Marbi, the week of will definately assist and WC's bigger bodies will suffer on the biggest stage. Good luck to both teams, i think that WC with their backs against the wall (play their best footy) will get up, a completey different side if Rabee plays - the premier midfielder in both grades i reckon.
DS v Greenvale - Very very tough to pick a winner here, even more so given Douttas couple of injuries last week. Will Toddy Peel get a guernsey?
Do Douttas have enough strength down back if GV setup with Paxman, Georgie, Budge, Smith and Co. I'll tip Douttas just even though Lenne will have a day out, i think Carey will kick a half D.

Good luck to invloved!!!

your mate must have had his eyes closed, if he threw a punch he would have been given life and put up on assualt charges thus he got 7 years

He did not intentionally hit the umpire – he grabbed him and shook him 3 times. But when pulling a person backwards and forwards with clenched fists your bound to make contact! He never had any intentions to hit him. Hope that clears everything up.

So the 7 years is deserved then.
If he threw a punch as some claim, even if he didnt make contact, then he deserved life.
If no punch was thrown the 7 years is a decent enough punishment. Possibly could have been more but no less.
We need to take a zero tollerance on this stuff.
Same should be happening for king hits but what are the chances of that
