RWO Game Day Thread - Round 6 - May 13-14

True. Anyone know why the league doesn't bother with law 5.19 any more?

5.19 Where a forfeit occurs:
(a) The team receiving the forfeit shall;
(i) be attributed a ?win?.
(ii) have its "points for" increased by the average of the points scored by the winners of the
other matches in the round.
(iii) have no points added to its "points against".
(iv) submit a team sheet for the purpose of player eligibility for finals.
(v) submit invoice to league for $100 compensation or $200 if the forfeit is communicated
to the league after 8pm Friday (not applicable if practice match played)
(b) The forfeiting team shall;
(i) be attributed a ?loss?
(ii) have no points added to its "points for".
(iii) have its "points against" increased by the average of the points scored by the winners
of the other matches in the round.
(iv) fined $200 if communicated by the 8pm Friday deadline or fi

No change to f/a with any of the forfeits. Could cost a team finals.

I know we had 22 kids front to Monarch only to win by forfeit. 100 km return trip and have to pay the physio for 4 hours. The bylaw has been amended. There are some by-laws changed that still haven't been amended on the website

Thats never good. It is bad enough on Friday let alone at the ground on the day.

CTown out of 19/2 and Magic take their place?

[saviour01]

That sucks. Saw that parra only had 12 turn up at sydney uni and have to forfeit. Think thats 8 in the first 6 rounds. Pretty poor.

I don't see logic about about licking one team out and dropping the other side a grade. They have both forfeited twice. At least Campbelltown generally recruit from the own junior base. Clubs that have insufficient numbers to field a team weekly should release them to another club with 19's with their best wishes and encourage them to return when can sustain a team. Almost every club has had it's bad years with massive floggings. Some may say it's character building. It's up to the clubs to improve, not the AFL to mollycoddle them by giving concessions

Fair point. Magics team last year if i remember correctly came from Penrith didnt it and i think as you pointed out earlierdidnt they nominate for a 1s and 2s in 2017?

This week's RWO wrap of the weekend action is now online.

Largely yes and I believe yes.

It's hard to have any sympathy for them.

Not quite correct.

There were 9 players who played at the Penrith Rams the previous year and out of those there were 7 who had played junior footy together in the Blue Mountains and some since Auskick. Of those 7 there were 4 who were going to just walk away from AFL as they didn't enjoy their introduction to senior footy, well those 4 found a new club (and a new found enthusiasm for their footy). The other 3 from the mountains decided they wanted to play with their mates and moved on. Then the last 2 joined (totallying 9) and they were ex St Clair Crows juniors, traditionally St Clair junior boys would go to EC.

After that and with social networking, players were asking these 9 where they were playing and it went from there.

Not sure why Penrith have options on the Blue Mountains boys? In the old "feeder club" days, the Mountains boys were directed to Penrith or Campbelltown.

[saviour01]

Any forfeits this week? Hard to imagine a week these days without a team forfeiting.

[Norris Lurker]

It's only Tuesday. If anyone's forfeiting already it's all over for them......

The real truth is that the coach advised the players that Penrith were not intending to field a 19's team in 2016 which was just an outright lie, and engineered in October the previous year. Appears that many of these kids have lost their "enthusiasm" for the game after a year.

Penrith are now the only "stand-alone" 19's club in Western Sydney if rumours are correct. I notice that the Blacktown Magic v Penno D1 19's match this weekend has now been adjusted into a "bye" for Penno

Same bloke that applied for the Senior role at Bensons with the promise that he'd drag his whole 19s list up Castlereagh Rd. He was told not to bother....we hate Penrith but not that much!

Approached Parra as well, but not happy with an "assistant" role.

[Nuttsy]

Anyone shed any light on some shenanigans from the Div 1 Game at Fairfax from this round? From what I hear there was some interesting going's on
