Southport and Sydney Reserves played off today in the NEAFL Grand Final. Leading by 50 points in the final quarter, a head count was called against Southport and they were found to have 19 men on the field. However, their score was not wiped and they went on to win the game by 60 points.
This is despite precedent from the NEAFL with GWS Reserves having their score wiped for the same offence last year. The fine print that has been supplied is that it was treated as an 'interchange break' rather than an extra player, which I think is to do with the fact that non-AFL sides in the NEAFL get an extra player on the bench, the 23rd man.
Also worth mentioning the Swans were given discretionary power and decided not to punish Southport. A bit of a confusing situation in all, what are your thoughts?
