Daley received a suspended sentence!!!!!!!!! - you have to be kidding. Irrespective of the level of contact - he head butt - he pleaded guilty - video evidence was not shown - hence he was given 3 weeks suspended sentence. What the hell goes on up there in EDFL fairy land.
This decision has set the league back 10 years. Players get rubbed out for swearing at an umpire yet a bloke can head butt the opposition player & get off.
To all you blokes that take the field every week - my hat goes off to you but now remember the umpires are no longer able to protect you as when they send a bloke up to the tribunal they pat them on the back & send them out to do it again.
Total bulllshit. & PLEASE do not suggest the Grand Final should play any part in the decisiopn making process.
This was Daleys first appearence at the tribunal in 6 years of playing in the EDFL,and im sure it was determined that the damage done to the nose was a cause of a earlier incident,and also the massive overacting that took place after to milk a free kick was clear to all.
Either way im sure his perfect record in the EDFL had to be taken into consideration.
And get off your soap box about umpires no longer being able to protect players,its people like you who tarnish this very polished and high standard league with your far fetched and blown out of proportion comments.
Go and enjoy a great game of football on sunday and leave the whinging and whining for the playground.
