football only thing keeping mellington on the rails there for a while. 7 weeks off will either make or break the kid.

O&M Live on their Facebook page are saying he will only serve the 3 matches, with the other 4 suspended for the 2017 season.

If this is right, what is the point of having suspended sentences if they are not automatically triggered if a subsequent offence occurs in that period.
Makes a mockery of the whole process.

I haven't even seen the incident so not commenting on if the sentence is appropriate, just the flawed process of the suspended sentence...

This has been clarified via Greg Dawson on the O&M live Facebook page. Mellington will miss 7 seven games.
I think a poorly worded tweet by the O&M caused a bit of the confusion. It said something like "sanction 3 weeks, plus 4 weeks suspended (reimposed)"
The word reimposed should've been replaced with (he will miss 7 games total)

How many weeks are you allowed to get before the life ban? 16 or something like that? Mellington has used a fair whack of it here

Hearing that the "fevola" rule may be used by the Tigers and Mellington is going to serve his 7 matches in the NT.

Hi guys,

Just trying to get a bit of info from other leagues in regards to electronic scoreboards.

Do all teams in your comp have them? is their many teams looking to get them?

of the teams who have them, do people rate them?

Cheers

Caught with an illegal substance twice in the recent few months is what I heard, not sure if that's true or rumour but would think he would have to sharpen up if Joss is to keep him on the books
Had heard he stole his roommates ex partners engagement ring and sold it for quick cash!!!!! Same issues at previous club who covered it up very well.

It is a fifty-fifty split. Five clubs in the comp do, five don't.
