There is always going to be a section of the community that has a different view of things and/or are stuck in the past.
But if you think the WAFL or the wider community would condone a coach throttling a player, you're kidding yourself.
Imagine the kids/juniors or their parents seeing that. Disgusting. Terrible for the image and the promotion of the WAFL - let's face it, we can hardly afford such bad press or perceptions.
