Lyndales big week on the track has paid off. Massive turn around from last week to knock of Hallam.

Suprised DW got that close to Moorabbin. The other two results were expected.

If Lyndale keep up the training and stays injury free over the next 3 weeks, they might get within 15 goals of the Hammers in round 10

Grand final (pretty much a lock)
Hammers V Hallam - Hammers by 13 goals
 
What's happened to Clayton? 0-18 last year in div 3 and 2-4 now in div 4 and not really threatening finals

The Southern Football Netball League is investigating an incident which resulted in a game being called off at three-quarter time on Saturday.
In the match between Doveton Eagles and Moorabbin Kangaroos, a melee on the three-quarter time siren raised enough concern for the umpires to immediately conclude the match.
The Kangaroos were deemed winners of the match, 13.12 (90) to 8.7 (55).

A SFNL Division 4 match was called early on Saturday.

Doveton Eagles released a statement on Sunday night but took it down after a flood of inappropriate comments.
“In Saturday’s game between Doveton Eagles and Moorabbin Kangaroos an incident occurred at three-quarter time, which resulted in a Doveton Eagles player getting seriously injured,” the statement read.
“The game was called off before the fourth quarter by the umpires to prevent further incidents happening.
“Doveton Eagles does not condone violence and poor behaviour and we will be cooperating with the league as further information is received.”
Last month the SFNL said it had no tolerance for players or supporters creating “an unsafe environment”.
“We are not going to tolerate bad behaviour and if individuals think they can come down to football and create an unsafe environment, we’re going to go through the process and send a strong message that indiscretions won’t be tolerated,” CEO Lee Hartman said.
The league has already issued 80 weeks of across the competition for poor behaviour this year.

Whats the answer here? I've seen SFL handing down bigger suspensions but its not working. It seems to be getting worse. Is it just a case of all games now tapes so can see incidents? But honestly what do you do. Fine the club? Life suspended any player doing any kind of punching? This fighting macho bullshit is just not footy anymore and for good. Its absolutely not acceptable. All clubs say they don't tolerate this behavior but nothing seems to be done about it. Does the league now have to look at all little shirt grab and tugs and give strikes and if you have 2 or more of those you get suspended, try to stop it escalating in the moment? Do clubs actually see that culture of looking for a fight and bite the bullet tell em if they get into anymore they'll be kicked out of the club? I'm scratching my head how to get through to players. Its clearly a leadership from team and club issue that needs to step up and say hey that ain't cool bananas but end of the day most clubs are all boysy boy mates, how can you tell your mate you've knows for years 'hey you gotta leave the club' its a shit spot to be in.

We all deserve to play and watch the game we love, the greatest game on earth in a safe environment.
 
Hear, hear Kanga!! Well said.

As clubs struggle to attract players and grow lists, unfortunately it seems we have started to accept some of the behaviour from a few who would normally be shown the door at any Div 1/2 team.

What happened on the weekend is clearly unacceptable. Hopefully the league deals with it appropriately.
 
If your the equivalent of a SFNL D4 player you may as well go play at a VAFA or YV club.

Far less odds on you ending up in hospital from a coward punch in those leagues.

It's not even coward punches, it's blokes using playing footy as an excuse to hurt others. Late to pack hits, excessively rough to hurt, lifting elbows in hip n shoulders. Should sfnl pass on any punch to police for assault charges is that where it needs to go to start weeding out the bad eggs?
