I agree, it was really a matter of time before an umpire bites back, the crap the umpires have to put up with every week is a disgrace, umpires report it and the tribunal do nothing about it, so it continues, EDFL need to stamp this out, and it starts with the players being discipled, an umpire finally responds and you want to rub them out, what a joke, if the umpires can put up with it, why cant the players "coZ they are self cantered sooks" they give it, but cant take it.
EDS will find themselves in Div 2 at this rate
Laguda first played at EK then joined Douttas in 2010.
Well said mate and been saying this for years. Some runners are coaching and never go to the coach for instructions.
totally with you on this rocket. 2 weeks ago when I last went for a walk and watched some juniors at home what your saying here was on full display. so many egotistical adults making sundays about them its actuallty embarasing. i know we need willing volunteers but surely every club has a coaching or junior development person overlooking behaviours as suchj. we always comment on whos coaching kids and how but whos coaching these parent coaches given their meant to b acredited and sign off on codes of conduct etc
few of these names were mentioned saturday at the game but only more as a reference to who has been through the club at different times. east keilor situation may see a couple consider new or former homes so hopefuly douttas is at least of consideration. unsure whats happened at digers rest but a few might be on the move again hopefully back this way. jensen there captain unsighted since long weekend word was he is coaching a rival ridell league club next year.
Rogers was douttas from the very start
are those under 18’s guns or filling up numbers. Most clubs have 18’s go up to play 1’s
Issue is the runner doesn’t need to do a course, training or be accredited. Can be any idiot under the rules. As my previous post the runner I seen from keilor was a total embarrassment as an adult but they allow it to happen as they want every advantage even if it’s against the rules. As stated I would be happy to do a role for the league and my income can be purely fines I isdue of 500-1000 for each breach. And the umpires should pay a free kick in opposition forward line. Now that would make the runner look like a total fool as the kids will be disadvantaged in the scoreboard. Only way to sort it
Paccos comeback v Deer Park beats that
Pacco only got the chocolates over Deer Park in that game as they didn't have a bench in the last quarter and we ran out of legs.
The rules are clear, umpire issues a warning to the runner if coaching or staying on the ground. Second time is a free kick, third is free kick plus 50. If it happens again runner is carded and not to be replaced
I saw it last year when a certain umpires advisor who's also the runner for his sons junior side spent 100% time on the ground, was clearly coaching AND telling the junior umps he advised to pay frees to his side. Was pretty ordinary to watch. Surely someone with that role should be banned from a match day role at a club
Looks good to me
Problem is majority of umpires are kids and they shouldn’t need to be watching these runners ( or better called FLOGs) as they need to be concentrating on the game. These runners and coaches know better. Officials should be fined heavily and a free kick from the goal square. No warnings just fine and free kick. That would see a big difference!!
On the topic of Douttas...Football Manager Nick Byrne has accepted the role as General Manager of Coburg VFL.
