Ok,
It is always interesting to see peoples reactions when they see a snippet or "selected" portion of an event, and when they have knowledge of the entire event it can change perspective completely.

The Kelmscott players in question are facing the tribunal and have also received club sanctions for their actions, "Bringing the club into disrepute" and will likely not play again at the club.
The 16 year old junior player who received the sling tackle from a much bigger and stronger Baldivis player, received concussion from the incident and has been given a 3 week suspension by the Umpires. He was also up for a junior association award, his family do not want him to play footy again, and the PFL has told Kelmscott they recommend the club not play juniors any more.
The Baldivis player who laid the sling tackle, had earlier on in the game punched another much smaller Kelmscott player in the face, leaving him with serious concussion and he has also decided that due to the knocks in the head he has received he will stop playing footy as well, ( the player wears a helmet). The umpires did not witness the incident so could not take any action.
All in all put the game in context and you will have a totally different perspective. Yes I was there, was I biased? I am trying to be as unbiased as possible in this. I think if you were even a Baldivis supporter you would cringe at some of the tactics that were put on display during the game, unless you are a thug as well.

The Baldivis player will face the tribunal for the sling tackle, I believe.

Kelmscott were behind all day, however the fitness of their younger players was rattling Baldivis.
Kelmscott had total control of the game in the last half, and likely would have gotten over the line, if this incident didnt happen in the last quarter.

Anyway the club is also put on notice and will likely have to play the remainder of the season with both hands tied behind their backs.
 

Wow, sounds like your making excuses for their shithouse behaviour which has gone on for years. It's the "but I'm the victim" mentally your playing here that's dangerous. The player got up after the tackle, what happens after is just filthy. No reason to ever stud, cheap shot, knee, coward punch a guy because he did a rough tackle, then carry on like dickheads.

They didnt get kicked out of A grade for too many red cards, they simply finished at the bottom of the ladder and were relegated. It wasnt long after that they they could not field two teams and were then playing in the metro comp I believe before returning to the PFL a couple of seasons ago.

Kelmscott player was only 16. 
he has no recollection of the game at all and pleaded guilty at tribunal on the video presented. He apologised and was given 3 week’s suspension. Baldivis player got 2 years suspension as a repeat offender for his actions. Not making any excuses but Baldivis have copped massive fines and are in a lot of trouble from their own video of the game which the PFL watched. You all only seen a snippet and a reaction. The 3 1/2 quarters before that caused the reaction. 
just saying

Was it the player suspended for 2 yrs the Baldivis player who wears the helmet ?
