Breaking News - 19 players on Ground yesterday

[Reggi]

Andrew Ireland just confirmed it was a mistake that Jesse White made going on and he was the 19th man

[schwattasboots]

i reckon that jolly wanted to stay on the feild

[swantastic]

Wrong, Jessie White was the 19th man and had no hand in the goal.

The Swans have stated that they called Jolly off because when they realised they had an extra man on the field he was closest to the interchange bench.

Even though the interchange thru the game was Jolly off/White on, I think with less than 90 secs on the clock it is no given that Jolly was meant to come off, he was hardly being rested at that stage.

Well if thats the case then the melbourne afternoon news dont know what their talking about.They said that jolly was the 19th man on the ground.

Hefy penalty there but oh well lets move on!!

Our season has had more drama in the past fortnight than in the past 20 years!!!!

[2005]

Gotta be happy with that. Could of been worse.


Terry Wallace was right today ( even though hes a Knob ) if we were to get away with this lightly , it would of opened a pandoras box down the track.
Thought North handled it well though, especially Dean Laidley.

[ShockOfHair]

Expensive draw. You'd think with 19 blokes we might have actually won.



It's also a tie so far between AFL and Swans this year.

Two wins apiece.

AFL 2 (B. Hall, 19 men)
Swans 2 (tanking, Goodes)

Jeepers..that's more than a year's wages for me! expensive 90 seconds or however long it was.

What a load of crap (except the 'he's a Knob' part)

What pandora's box?

Would Wallace have us believe that somewhere down the track a coach will INTENTIONALLY send on a 19th man, risking the whole score being erased if an on-field challenge eventuates, just because the precedent has been set and Sydney got away lightly (even though they haven't in the end).

Even if Sydney got a slap on the wrist and got sent to the corner until lunchtime, it is just ridiculous to suggest any side would use it as a deliberate tactic considering the consequences if they get caught out.

The Sydney Swans have accepted the AFL's $50,000 fine, despite calling it "severe"

[thejones,s]

Is there even a precedent for that sort of fine? Seems extremely severe to me.

Precedent is there...
