Interesting to see that the Shepp News posted a series of photos in the paper but failed to show the two photos that lead to that incident

On another note don't think I have ever seen a player dive so blatantly for cheap free kicks like a certain coach did on Sat

Would hope that the Towners would not put in such an insipid performance again
Looks like we will never know as sleethy took the safe option of the week. As for the spectator incident, lets just say VT would be hoping an investigation didn't take place.
A correction plea..
I might sometimes be controversial but just a note to say NOT “Originally Posted by John Carrot “! Maybe Sparra can assist?
I might have to change my pseudonym to the big guy from “Hogan’s Heroes”?
I wasn’t there .. I saw nussing .. I know nussing!!

Ps Anyone remember that character’s name?
Fair point but it was their first go and probably biggest crowd. Boundary realignment or mesh bunting might help. The BOSS was close to the action, think she got a couple in sticking up for Love Nuts!

G’day Woody
This is another of my “banging on a bass drum” points.
About the lack of fencing from the end of the steel rail near the fire drum to the resumption of the steel fence after the main building.
For the last few years I’ve banged away on the suggestion that we should erect a “soft” temp canvas/cloth mesh fence in front of the Redlegs Stadium members stand with sponsors ads on canvas facing the crowd.
Soft posts that collapse if players make impact. A barrier which is psychological to the supporters ( only the dipsticks will expose themselves by jumping that barrier..) and also have the Redlegs players give a bit more back to the Club as part of the pre-match setting up as they do now!
And prime advertising space for sponsors to contribute to facing the crowd!
The feedback preventing this idea for the footy club, I have been told, is to do with the “good old” OH&S issues ..
ain’t that life in the lucky country?
Que? ..for phwarksake!!

, anyway at the risk of repeating what Woody said, I think that Longwood did a great job with the Elimination Final, plenty of parking, heaps of room for the kids to run around in, the ground coming up a treat, very good facilities, a good Netball set-up, fantastic raffle prizes (side of lamb, 6 bottles of red, and something else that was good) plenty of food stalls (the Bacon & Egg Rolls were excellent, as well as the cakes and free tea and coffee at 1/2 time), and plenty of volunteers, you've set the bar pretty high, lets see if Merrigum & Avenel can better it.
Jayco is spot with this Earl, we as a club should know better after what AJ did at Undera that day same shit... But it's also easy to sit back and say all this. It would of been a lil diff in the heat of the moment when you see two blokes drag a player from inside the boundary over to the fence and dump him on the otherside!

The wonders of pen pushing eh
As far as that gap in the fence (Murch & Violet Town have the same thing), it was just bad luck that the bit of argy-bargy happened there, but a temporary fence would've worked for that area, especially with the kids wanting to sit down right on the boundary line.
I was trying to look for you John but I couldn't find you, anyway you guys did a great job and everyone I spoke too said the same thing.
