Broken leg in two places, couldnt move him for an hour.
toxic
Hall of Famer
Who was it?
Lavington would be disappointed finishing with only the two points in a game they were likely to win by 100 points or more. The top sides only get limited games that will impact the top 3 this year and halving the points against a bottom 5 side will hurt big time.
Who cares how many points they received, the players welfare is priority, took an hour for the ambulance to get to the ground, young players may have been affected from witnessing hes injury. So for the game not to continue is a non issue in my opinion. More to life then a game of football.
Well done to both North & Lavingtons trainers for giving Matt the best possible care whilst they waited for the ambulance.

The injury happened about 20 minutes into the first quarter. The umpires apparently rang a higher authority for clarification of the rule and I believe were advised that the cut off time for continuing the match was 2.55pm. They then allowed a further 10 minutes grace to see if the ground would be cleared but that time elapsed. Understandably, Lavington was keen to continue because they were in the box seat to get the 4 points. But 2 points for North is a great result for them. With hindsight, the league could implement a rule to prevent this happening again, especially considering the lightning at Lavington is second to none.
The Crumber
Debutant
The rule can be varied by the controlling body.
The League offered the clubs the option to continue the game but NA declined.
Also, the ambulances (there were 2 crews dispatched) took about 25mins to arrive.
It was around an hour later that Pender was in the back & off to hospital.

Apparently Penda was keen for the game to continue. What other reason could North have for saying no other than getting gifted 2 points.
The thing is that the rules clearly state that if a game is halted for 30 mins or more it is automatically abandoned. If that occurs before half time the game is declared a draw...if it is after half time the side in front at rant point in time wins. This whole thing of asking clubs if the would like to continue should not even take place in my view because it opens the questions we are asking right now
What a horrible round for the game, massive floggings and one of the nice blokes of the comp having his season/ possibly career ended. I agree with Roota the rule is pretty clear, this nonsense of asking the teams shouldn't have occurred. It could however influence the ladder at the end of the year which isnt ideal.
Looking ahead we are facing a similar situation with another round of very uneven games. Wang vs North will give people a fairly accurate indication of the gap between the 2nd/3rd best team in the league vs 6th.

Agree,,, wow such a distance between 1 and 10 now ,,, never seen it like this at home and away level.
Looking at other leagues , the GVFL are not experiencing the extent these results , the Murray league is a very close comp , and as is the Hume league , Tallangatta , Riverina , Farrar , and even Picola comp.

Jamie Anderson selected in Rep squad, there must be a lot of quality players not available/prepared to play for him to get a game!! Jumps at shadows!!
Who does he play for?

Wang Magpies
O&K is even across the top few teams but the bottom two are getting it by 200+. Ky Valley is no different. Country footy as a whole is in abit of a state.
Michael Clarke from Rovers is the only one who comes to mind who would be an obvious choice before Ando. Saker isnt getting any faster and most clubs dont have a true full back. Dussin would be my pick but he is filling the void in the ruck. Good on the kid for putting his hand up though.

My reference was about Anderson not Wang, he didn't play there last year D.H !!
I don't know what sort of team the ovens n Murray put out but I was shocked WRFL didn't lose by by 150 points. Considering none of the best 30-40 players, if not more didn't play.
Not much of a wrap for the blokes who did put there hand up and represent the WRFL . The fact is that was the team they could put together and it wasn’t good enough.
Don’t think you will find many representative teams these days who have all of there best players put there hand up and play.
Correct, and I can tell you the O&M HAD PLENTY OUT AS WELL ...
Pretty audacious of WRFL to approach O&M to pay $800 for Mellington to play against them. They obvious haven't caught on that the bloke was one of the most hated men in the region.
