We had a player sent off in the first 10 minutes of a amateur GF at East Freo Oval a few years back as red hot favs.
Most didnt see it, the player in question never had a dirty bone in his body and maintains his innocence to this day.
The Ump revelled in the march off of one of our best players.
The charge was kicking/kneeing a player in the back in a ground ball contest.
We were one player down for 20 mins until he was replaced. They piled on 3 or 4 goals while we were one down and we lost by under a kick.
On Tuesday night he was found not guilty - no case to answer as the Ump actually couldnt properly describe what he had seen and the other teams player couldnt recall the incident .
There is simply no place for it.
