ch nine say $5,000 for delay?

[saintbrat]

I hadn't heard this anywhere else- anyone else seen confirmatin of this fine for being late onto the ground?

[SaintBot]

maybe Grant Thomas will reach deep inside his heart and offer to pay it for the team he loves all so much

5000 meh...id be interested to hear the reasonings from Lyon and co. are though

[Saints-06-Premiers]

Maybe the clock in the rooms was slow or something.
When you have more than one clock all on different times, it does get confusing, but hey, im not complaining, this problem happens at work, i end up with a longer break.

$5000?

If it assisted us in either of the following scenarios it would appear to be money well spent:-

Helped us win the game and thereby get the winners' cheque.

Helped us physically in getting over playing in those extreme conditions so that we will be ready for R1.

[Saints-06-Premiers]

Who knows what advantages it had. It's a hypothetical, what if we went out earlier?

good story, and similar to what Packer did at the start of World Series Cricket at VFL Park when the game was looking like running overtime.....he simply instructed the timekeeper to slow the clocks down!

Id the 2 mins extra in the rooms gave us that lil extra bit of stamina to get over the line...then we are $140,000 in the black still even after paying it

[HSVKing]

Damn... we only won $370,000 on Saturday night then...

[saintspremiers]

Damn... we only won $370,000 on Saturday night then...

Fast Forward 12 months......we are all square after paying out someone.....

[Eastern]

$5,000 fine

BUGGA !!

[Spinner]

....$5,000, not much compared to the $385,000 we won because of it....

Seriously, it looked like a old junior game in which one team would always come out first and be in position.

[Solar]

so 5k for coming out late but teams that have played with an extra man get stung 1k LMAO perspective!

Hawks were fined $7,500
Port were fined $3,000

Anyone got a link to the fine for St Kilda? Haven't seen any coverage on the internet as yet.

If its 10,000 or less, I don't think we got screwed at all. I haven't read the response from the club, but if we gained an unfair advantage intentionally - well its pretty serious.

If it was the H/A season, and Adelaide/Fremantle took longer, we'd immediately assume it was to gain an advantage. And all of us would be demanding that it be taken much further than a fine.

.

the only referance I have heard is still the comment on ch nine from my original post- so I thought one option may be that the AFL have asked saints for explainaton and said it may be a $5,000 fine unless their reasoning is good enough.- - just my thought on it.

[riccardo]

Nothing recent on this, can I assume they've let us slide, as doubtful as that is.
