Clubs have refused to play there in previous years and it has reached that state again. Relying on good will and lack of serious injury. How much longer?
Yep, and a couple of guys got really sick from playing that day.

Listing an emergency excludes the player from the points total ….
there’s no alert if a player is named as an emergency as their point do not count to the total player points…

Could be slightly worse - could be in the IT industry & deliver late, twice the price and a product that is unuseable!
I've been running my eyes over the tribunal results in the last few months and it seems "engaging in rough conduct" is the "catch all" for the majority of suspensions handed down.
Having watched a lot of games this year across at least 4 grades (1's and 2's) I can't say I've seen a report live for this offence. Are they all reported post game via video analysis?
It also seems to be more prevalent in the womans matches as opposed to the men. On top of the report the suspension itself is quite hefty at around the 3 week mark.
Anyone have any insights on this?

What’s making it worse is when umpires see an incident, call play on and then a video report is laid. No context or depth perception. It’s ridiculous.
It’s also ridiculous that players past good behaviour can not be taken into account. At 10 years of under 19 and senior football gives a player 1 week off any suspension except those categorised at a serious offence - 5 weeks and above.
FWIW 3 weeks for kicking seems light

Watch the incident, should never have been reported (imo). It was a freak accident.
From the game there were 1 report and 2 video reports.
The game was incredibly tame.
A tummy tap, a sling tackle and a kick. The 1st 2 wouldn’t have lead to a suspension in the AFL.
The kick as I said was an accident with the player kicked was behind the reported player. AFL would have also thrown it out. IMO
So found accidental and still gets 3
The VAFA Tribunal System is at its lowest ever with inconsistent decisions, and what makes it worse is when umpires don't deem a reportable offence, yet the club can report to the VAFA and they review the video and then hand out guilty penalties. There's a serial club who does it on a regular basis playing in Prem C, especially after a defeat.
Would be very surprised if the VAFA doesn't beat WA by a big margin in the men's & women's rep games on Saturday, considering WA's poor record in interstate football level in Melbourne.

Was accidental. Don’t believe they thought so. To deliberately do what he did, Jackie Chan would have been impressed. Total BS. Ask the guy from Parkdale. It’s not the action, but the outcome.
You can bump some one, break the players ribs, not be reported and the umpire testified that he believed it wasn’t reportable and the player still gets 3 weeks. If the player wasn’t hurt, he gets off.
Will you be at the game? An honest opinion on how it went would be great.
Players are too frightened to appeal . The minor melee fines are a joke as well

Have you noticed how many girls are being suspended? Couldnt find the post on here from another handle but reasons more girls are being suspended for rough conduct is that they havent learnt the game as a 10-12 year old upwards on how to brace for a bump, how to avoid contact and how to tackle properly!
The tribunal is probably the only place they are getting equality to the men!
Is the worst standard of football to umpire! and all vafa womens games only need one umpire! (IMO)
Mr Zero will be after you

Care to name anyone you are referring to?
Capper please
So the aim of the VAFA is the grow the woman's game, yet penalise them (and potentially turn them away) for skills they haven't been able to master/learn in their first 1-2 years of playing the game.
If this is the case are junior leagues taking the same stance? or is "engaging in rough conduct" only confined to the seniors?
If genuine injury to players is being caused then a memo to all clubs would assist in the learning, otherwise it's just a case of picking the low hanging fruit.
