    And look what 20K (correct weight?) got Hird and Essendon!
    Haha yeah, you are better off accusing an umpiring of cheating than having a first gamer run onto the ground for 30 seconds in error!

    Let's just hope our fine goes to the Umpires end of year fund

      Did we not notice three guys on the bench, where did they think the other guy went?
      Why do you think he was off within 30 seconds??? Our extra player wasn't on the ground for a quarter

      The error was picked up pretty quickly and rectified.

      Fox Sports story on the fine

      Swans football manager Andrew Ireland said White was "caught out" by a double interchange from North.

      He followed opponent David Hale back onto the ground, unaware that team-mate Kieren Jack had already returned to the field.

        Yes interesting that the Western Bulldogs did the same thing in 2006

        No Medja coverage
        $7,500 fine

        This kind of thing brings the Sydney haters/bias to the surface

        You have tolove their pain

          Yes, I had forgotten about that, except for the end of the HS article yesterday that pointed it out.

            we cheated. inadvertently or otherwise. it had an impact on the game (and if it didn't what exactly were they all 19 doing on the field).

            frankly we are lucky to get out with a fine and we should shut up and cop it sweet.

            the amateurish approach to interchanges should now be comprehensively reviewed both at our club and in the league

              I agree with your comment about the interchage. It is something that just shouldn't happen. If need be, they need 2 people.
              Maybe they should get a better organised i/change steward. Who knows, but it does need reviewing.

              As for the cheating bit, yes it was wrong and against the rules, however, White isn't even sited in that 30 odd seconds of play, so as to what impact White had on the game at that point would have to be minimal.

                This is the thing that annoys me the most. All other sports with interchange, as far as I know, have an official to ensure this cannot and does not happen. For the AFL not to have that in place is nothing less than amateurish. About time the fat controller gave up some of his salary to pay for professionsl interchange stewards and empower them to not allow anyone on the ground unless someone has come off first.

                  Yeah I find that strange that the AFL don't control this, heck they control everything else.

                  Brayshaw has a sook, give us the points

                  THE 19th player was first-gamer Jesse White and he "did not go near where the play was taking place and involve himself in the contest for the ball".

                  NORTH Melbourne "had the ability but chose not to call for a count pursuant to the Laws of the Game".

                  BOTH clubs were of the view the mistake was inadvertent.

                  SYDNEY acted immediately to remove the closest player once it realised it was breaking the rules

Hope that the caterers include several bad, but specifically placed,prawns on the canape tray that night and point them in the AD & AA direction. (I'm in a nasty nasty mood today!!!)

                      I share your anger.

                      This fine is almost "You have pissed us off for long enough thanks Sydney"

                      Doesn't seem to fit the crime at all.

                        Someone came out during the week saying that a small fine (then touted as 15K) would not be fitting for cashed up clubs.

                        I hope they remember those words when their 'not so cashed up club' inadvertently does the same thing and they cop a 50K fine as well

                        Goose, gander and all that.....

                          I like the fact that after the matter has been public for a couple of days, after North coach says it's not a big deal and after the AFL has made its decision, James Brayshaw declares he wants the four points. The kind of guy who'd turn down $100 million if you offered it to him.

                            After the AFL declared the 19th player had no part in the game, and Jolly was NOT the 19th player.

                            Their whinging and moan goes from their supporters all the way up to their club. They had the chance to take the game, they chose not to. Bad luck.

                                James Brayshaw has fast replaced Eddie in Melbourne as an annoying obnoxious club pres with a media profile. Where and how this moron became a media personalty in Melbourne keeps baffling me.
