Allow me to clarify.

Sunbury's best player Aaron Christensen was called up to play for Calder Cannons, meaning that Sunbury were without a bench, Sunbury called up the only available player they could find on short notice a young 15 year old from our Under 16s side, to fill in (he had played 2 games during the year). Sunbury then proceeded to beat Sebastapol by 2 goals (would have beaten them by about 6 or 7 goals if Aaron had of played.

Sebastapol then lodged a complaint with the BFL on the basis that the 15 year old replacement had only played 2 games instead of 3 games.

However the fly in the ointment is that this 3 game qualification rule only applies to Sunbury, Melton and Melton South in the Ballarat Football League as their juniors play inte RDFL, whereas all the other teams in the BFL their juniors already play in the BFL so their is no 3 game qualification criteria, and they bring their junior players up or down at the drop of the hat.

Sunbury could have brought 2 Under 18 players down from the Seniors (who are absolute guns) but we dont work that way and we give them every opportunity to shine at the highest level, unlike Sebastapol who dropped all their Under 18 players from their Reserves & Seniors team down to their Under 18 side for this game.

The Ballarat Football League actually gave Sebastopol 3 opportunities to withdraw their protest as it was frivolous and not designed to punish that eventuality, however Sebastapol would not withdraw their complaint, and BFL then disqualified Sunbury.

Disgraceful in particular given the fact that Sunbury agreed to play in their away clash strip jumper even though we were the home team because Sebastapol are too poor to be able to afford their own clash jumpers.

Also disgraceful because 10 Sunbury players played their last game of junior football without them knowing it (including Agro Jr) and their parents couldnt share that moment with them.

Remarkable that a club named Sebastapol who take their name from the battlefields of the Crimean War and where the Metal from Victoria Cross is made from the captured guns of Sebastopol should behave in such a gutless and dishonorable fashion.

I could hazard a guess in a footy context but what does it mean?

It means that there was a really crap movie made about the match.

game over....the thought was nice while it lasted.

Says who ?

sam reid says hello

Jetta's goal looked similar to Garletts in round 3.

Hopefully the deal Collingwood have given Cloke leaves them in ruins in a few years time.

Mind you they could probably use a refresh and losing Harry O (worst on ground all year until last week when he was pretty good) and Wellingham who is pretty average will probably help them.
They will lose more along the way so fingers crossed the deal costs them in the long run.

We still need a proper forward although Swans are doing ok without one. I just want a bloke who plays everyweek and gives us target that we can build our attacks around. Waite is good and straightens us up but cannot be relied upon to front up.
