I wonder what the penalty would be if he did play ?

Well I can tell you as us Americans know everything there is to know:

Well, it wouldn't happen in an AFL game.

However, if some Club wasn't to clever then:

1. A Club has to submit a team sheet before playing and only those players are allowed to be on the field.

2. So if a suspended player is on the field then an Umpire can order them off as per rule 9.4.2 Refusal to Leave Surface

3. They can then stop the game and the team for which the player was playing, forfeits the match.

4. Player gets bigger suspension and Club will most probably be fined.

The AFL can order suspended players to stay away from the game on game day if they want to.

Much obliged and don't mention it.

Many thanks BRC. That just about covers it.

That would have been hard with one Wakelin playing for them and the other at Port Adelaide.

Didn't Kelly play a game in 2000/2001 against Freo I think where he wasn't on the team sheet and we copped something like a 3k fine ?

Yes he did, returning from his serious knee injury...I'll never forget the look on Fremantle Coach Drums' face, when he saw Kell warming up....shock, horror!
Kells first touch was a fantastic pack mark where he flew over all involved...and landed on his reconstructed knee, and played on immediately...just fantastic !

It was but he wasn't a suspended player. I think we lost that game but it was a memorable comeback. Nearly as good as Elvis in Hawaii.

He's sharing it with son in law Michael Jackson. Like that song...........Ebony and Ivory..........well Ivory and Ivory in this case. Oh Lordy Miss Gordy.

just wondering how Harry and Jed have been going in the ressies this season

I have barely seen them play

I remember hearing the story, I think it originated when Shane and Darryl were still at St Kilda.

Harry is coming on well but still has a way to go. He will benefit from a good pre-season. He is good at the long delivery but sometimes he gets a brain-fade with the close in stuff, like handball in close. He is a very good shot on goal generally but he still needs to work on the defensive side of his game a bit more and the inside work. Outside is his natural game and he does that pretty well.

Jed, since he came back from injury, has been sensational. He reminds me a bit of Josh Kennedy the way he breaks the lines and hits the pack. He is very strong with good reach and more often than not he gets a handball out of a tight situation to advantage. He can also run the lines and burst out of defense or into attack and delivers the ball pretty well. Has been in the best every game since he came back. I think he was carrying a niggle for most of the season before he went down with his injury and the lay off has healed him. His attitude is really good and he seems to be able to control the centre bounces and bring the other players into the play. A very good kick at goal, he hardly ever misses no matter where the shot is from. I think he is cherry ripe for a seniors berth but unfortunately Al and a few others don't agree, they think next year. The coaches are probably going to think the same but I would love to see him get a game against the Bullies.

Jed has real x-factor. Not something we have a lot of in the team at the moment, so I am keen to see how he progresses. Maybe not this year, but next year can make an impact along with Red Rooster and Tone.

[Primmy]

Agree about Jed, and I had some fair reservations about him at first. But his work and effectiveness rate has been rising evenly since he started to get his mojo back. Has a lovely kick. He will be just fine, but I doubt he will get a gig this season.

Harry had a big burst, then a "whoa there edge of the cliff" time, and now is settling down into expectations.

They are after all kids. the future of our club. not quite the present yet. But link them with the rooster, sam, luke, lewis, tony, dan, oh my.....

Yes Primmy but I think young Lambchop is ripe for the picking and could be that X factor in September. Next yeat we get to see how good Mitchell, Lambchop, Lockyer, Harry, Brownie, Biggs, Heath & Lynch really are. I think Nipper has been a bit unlucky this year quite frankly.

[BillyRayCypress]

Lamb an X factor in September?????

He hasn't played in the firsts all year. It would be nice to have a secret weapon but I think he is even a secret to the Swans atm.
