I don't know of Barry Padley ... dunno what era, so :
Probably first player involved in a new rule.
You know, like a time-wasting infringement or something.
Maybe first player to kick a behind after they were to be registered as a score?
 
first player booked and suspended by video.

incidentally, i remember when the AFL introduced reporting for time wasting. almost immediately two of their big drawcards (gary park hyatt ablett and paul vander haar) were both booked and proven guilty.

the Comission was so diasappointed by this they drew up a brand new rule next week which stated that any such suspension for this charge would not be registered against the player, so he would still be eligible to win the brownlow.

as a young boy at the time, i saw my first example of an organisation answerable to noone. i vividly remember thinking at the time, that if you were up against these guys, you wouldn't stand a chance. thank god they don't control the amateurs..

go reds.. destination A grade.
 
Speaking of A grade is this what's going to happen? 'Cos I was thinking taht if these guys are ammos how long do they stay with any particular club? Say we won the flag this year do we move up to, what, 4 th grade? then th climb through that etc etc. A grade seems a long way off.What league are we in anyway? is there the ammos, then semi-pro, then VFA then VFL?:confused:

We're currently in D3 (as there are 4 divisions of the 'D' division). You only move up a division, if you finish in the top 2 (as far as I know), and if you finish in the bottom 2, you are then demoted (as the Reds were this year, from D2, to D3).
