R40s SUMMER 2015 Round 5 -7 news Blog

3/22/2015

Hi All,

Welcome to the penultimate round of the season and I hope your all enjoying your 9s footy. The finals are just about set now and the structure will be the same as last season with everyone involved; 1v2. 3v4....ect. 
We think we eventually got the grading right and each comp has been very competitive with close results seen through most divisions. 
All Finals will be played at Basil reserve due to the failing light experienced as daylight saving ends. FULL INFO ON FINALS WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER Rd 7.

PARKING AT BASIL

Due to large numbers decending on Basil reserve come finals, we encourage players to use parking avaiable at Darling station at the rear of Dunlop reserve. It is only a 2 minute walk through to Basil from the car park. Wesley teams in particular who are not familiar with parking in the area might be well advised to use the Darling station parking.

BOOTS

Umpires have noticed some footy boots starting to worn by players. Not only is this no allowed under our ground lease agreement but it gives players an unfair advantage.  Field 1 at Basil Reserve was particularly chopped up due to unauthorised footwear. If your still confused as to what you can and can't wear ask the umpire before the start of the game and pack runners just in case otherwise ask HYNSEY who seems to have a good handle on it.

AUTUMN SEASON. (IMPORTANT)

R40s is doing their best to secure a ground for an Autumn comp which is planned to run for 8 weeks between May and June. So far we have been unsuccessful in finding a ground and would like to put it out there to all players who may be able to assist. Our preference is the Glen Iris, Ashburton and surrounding area, but we will look at any options offered up and REMEMBER lights are a must!!. We will keep teams updated as soon as a venue becomes available.

AUTUMN TEAMS

In the event that a Ground is located we need to know which teams are returning so that we can work out how many fields we need. We have so far had a positive response from around half the teams but need Captains to reply in the negative or affirmative to assist us with Competition Management.

I just want to finish off the Blog by asking all players to remember that R40s AFL9s is a non contact sport and the more we follow this no1 rule the more everyone can will enjoy the sport. Look after each other fallas as it hurts a little bit more than it use to. 

Cheers
R40s

Hi all,  

Firstly we look like we have the time slots and playing fields at Basil reserve finally right as complaints are limited, congrats go to Macca who is doing a ripping Job out there. There is some top shelf footy being played out at Basil in the higher levels, with limited or no contact, which is great to see. Finding space is the name of the game and teams have worked this out and ran with it.

Wesley Comp is humming along nicely and the attitude of the competing teams is fantastic exactly what R40s is all about, great social footy.

Summer Finals

Only 3 weeks away until finals and the ladders are starting to take shape. Hynsey's Dragons look the team to beat and sit well clear on top of the Ladder in 1st Div. Big Dogz are looking good in the 2nd Div but are closely followed by the Knights and Sharks, who will fight it out to make the final. 3rd Div sees the Scorchers on top who have been consistently getting better each season. Over at Wesley the mighty Thunder are once again proving hard to beat, Trev's team have more silverware than any other team in any comp and look to be adding to it. Very tight for second, but the way the Zero's played Monday, Thunder better be ready. 
Finals Format will be the same as Spring comp. with 1&2 playing off and so on and so on. 

ANZAC DAY CARNIVAL Cancelled !!


We have listened at R40s, and the general consensus is that local carnivals are of little interest to our teams. So we have cancelled the ANZAC DAY carnival and are reinstating the Autumn comp under lights, which has met with positive response.

AUTUMN Comp

We are currently in Negotiations with Stonnington Council to remain at Basil Reserve through the Autumn Season. Autumn, will run from April 20th to June 8th being an 8 week season. Depending on numbers Divisions will be made up of 8 teams, so that each team gets to play one another. We hope to have Registration up and running as soon as we have ground confirmation, so could all interested teams register as soon as it becomes available to assist us with fixturing and avoid the problems seen earlier this season.  New Teams Welcome!

Until next BLOG "Watch Your Contact"

Hi all and welcome to Rd2 News Blog.

First of all, you will all be happy to know that everyone has registered and we can now pass on our fixture matrix to Sporting Pulse to generate fixtures, results and ladder. A new system will be introduced next season to make sure this does not happen again, thank you all for your patience.
Fixtures/Results/Ladders should be up before play on Monday, but definitly before Rd 4.
Rd 3 is available in PDF format on the App and Website.

BASIL RESERVE LIGHTS

Through trial and error, only 2 matches will be played at the 8.45pm time slot. Feed back suggested the lighting on fields 1 and 4 were insufficient, so the remaining 2 games are to be played on  fields 2 and 3.

UMPIRES
We have fielded a couple of complaints about the umpires. Remember without them we don't have a game and they will make mistakes. We are rotating teams through different fields so if you don't like the way a specific umpire adjudicates the game, chances are you won't have him the next week.  Unhelpful comments will not make them umpire any better, so please keep them to yourself.

ANZAC DAY CARNIVAL- (Be a part of the 100 years remeberance not just a spectator
.)
At this stage the winter comp will be replaced by the ANZAC day carnival. Capped at 20 teams only, registrations will be Open Next Week, so please register early  to avoid disappointment.
The Format is pool play with finals. There is $1000 and the RSL Cup up for grabs to the winning team.
CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS

FIRST AID COURSE
If anyone has ever given a thought to doing a basic 1st aid course now's your chance. One of our players Dan Norton is running a course for locals at the East Malvern RSL on Sunday the 1st of March.

Welcome to R40s Summer 2015 - Umpires addition

1/29/2015

2 Comments

 
Hi All,
Welcome back to another season of R40s AFL9s. A big welcome also to the new teams who are participating for the first time. 
Our umpires got together last Tuesday to thrash out some ideas and options on how we can better umpire the game and reduce some frustration from both player and umpire. Attached below is the minutes of that Meeting. Please read  as it will assist in smoother running of our competitions.

All umpires were encouraged to focus on contact early in the game to set a precedence for the rest of the match. Most of our player are there to play a completely non contact social game  so it is up to the umpires to police even minor contact, including
  • Off the ball contact, Blocking, shepherding  and grabbing player or shirts are all unacceptable and a free kick needs to be awarded. 
  • Players Backing back will be free kicked against  if they make contact with stationary player. If the player is moving they are deemed to have initiated contact and the free kick will go to the man in front.(moving Back)
  • Midfielders need to remove the tag of the player clearing the ball from the ruck, all to often they are being tackled or contacted in some way. If there is not a clear exit from the ruck free needs to be paid.
  • Ruck contact continues to be a problem each player must start foot side by side and a Bball tip off is required (any leaning in is Penalised.) 
  • Ruckman must tap the ball backwards to his on ballers standing 2 meters away. (Trial Rule)
  •  The cleaner we get it out of the middle the more the game opens up. 

Local Rules
  • When clearing the ball from the centre the midfielder has 3 seconds from taking possession of the ball regardless of whether he has been tagged or not. Eg… A Mid receiving the ball from the ruck he then has 3 seconds to get rid of the ball if after this time he is tagged then a free kick is paid. On the other hand if he is tagged immediately after he grabs the ball he is then given 3 seconds.
  • Anywhere else on the ground other than the mid field a free kick will be awarded if the tag is removed with the player in possession, no prior is given.  
  • Player must kick out from the imaginary goal square rather than behind the line.
  • Ball is to be brought back through the goals if out of bounds close to goal.
  • Players must start 2 metres back from the ruck contest and may only move fwd once ruck man makes contact with ball tapping it backwards. 
  • Minimum kicking distance approx 5 metres
  • No Running with the flight of the ball (Mackintosh Rule)
  • Max. of 2 under 35s allowed on field at any time. (must be separate zones)



Reports, Warnings and Send off - New Rules

  • For minor indiscretions,  e.g. Swearing, unsportsman like behaviour, Wreckless contact and umpire abuse.. players will be given an official warning, if a 2nd indiscretion occurs the player will be sent off . 
  • All players sent off will not be allowed to return for the rest of the Match and the team will not be able to replace them.
  • In serious cases a warning (umpires discretion) may not be given and a player sent off.
  • If a player refuses to leave the field the game will stop until he has left the field.
  • An umpire may deem that a serious indiscretion has taken place and a player may be put on Report. He must then leave the playing field for the remainder of the game. Over the course of the following week the incident will be reviewed by the competition co-ordinators and a decision will be made. Co-ordinators decision is final. Penalties will fall in line with AFL9s standards.
  • 15m penalties will now be applied at the umpires discretion.

Umpire assistance 
  • An umpire may at any time  call on the competition co-ordinator to assist on any dispute. 
  • An umpire must report any serious injury to the Comp Co-ordinaters ASAP.
  • Comp co-ordinators will now be available for each game. (Macca and I, will be free to complain to.)

I hope that this clears up any questions that anyone has. There is a Chat room set up on the app if you have any questions for the umpires. Keep it nice.

That's all for now good luck for monday night above all enjoy yourself,
As always Watch your contact,

R40s Finals Week

12/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Hi All and welcome to our final News Blog of the season. Well what a big season, in 9s football, it has been with young Reece coming off 2nd best with Terra Firma (you will be all happy to know he's back 100% again) the umpires learning new words they have never heard/called before and a few soft tissue injuries here and there to keep the physios in business.  All in all, most looked like they had a great time and started to work it all out in the end.

Congratulations to;
Solway Smacko's and Weeping Willows  in 1st Division;
Pretenders and Assassins Yellow in 2nd Division
Glen Waverley Rovers and Vermont Vets in 3rd Division
all of who made the grand final in their respective Divisions.
*Winners of each division will receive a Premiership cup and adulation from their peers, so good luck Boys.

Finals Fixtures
The Fixture is up on our Website where all teams will be involved. You can also find the fixture on our TeamApp.  All Finals will be played at Wesley at 6.30pm, 7.15pm or 7.55pm time slots. Coates Pavillion will be open for after match Drinks and a free Sausage sizzle. All Divisional grand finals will be played at 7.55pm with presentations straight after the game.

Social Atmosphere

A reminder to all teams that our competition is a social competition and should be played in that spirit throughout the night. The old adage of no rules in finals does not apply to AFL9s and we trust that we are all experienced (old) enough to enjoy the night without incident. Bet good to the umpires!!!

Beyond Blue (important)
R40s was originally set up to give middle age men a physical and social outlet they can relax and enjoy while playing social sport with their peers. As a follow up to these ideals we have partnered with Beyond Blue to raise awareness of the mental heath issues men face today.
These issues were underlined last week when unfortunately the St.Benedict's Tigers suffered a tragedy in which one of their players has taken his life.

Finals Fund Raiser
With the assistance of our Roaring 40s community we have pulled together and used our finals night as an opportunity to raise money for the affected family and Beyond Blue. As most of you know we asked for some donations to go toward the prizes for a raffle on the night. Well..... the response has been overwhelming with nearly $10,000 worth of prizes donated in just 3 days so far.

Your Support

All we require now is you support. If everyone could bring ONE extra mate along to support the fund raiser and increase the awareness of men's health that would be great and maybe pack a little more in the wallet for our raffles.
There will be  a free sausage sizzle and drinks to be purchased at the bar. Please make an effort to support the night and enjoy the social atmosphere.
Click the file at the end of the BLOG for more details on the night.

Next Season
R40s is in the process of firming up venues and length of  Summer season. The start date will be the 2nd of Feb, the 1st Monday of the school term. Easter will interfere with the season and we are working on the logistics of that. Could all team captains please notify us ASAP of their intention to continue next season. New teams Welcome.
It is very important to get in as soon as possible as the Summer season may have to be capped.

Thanks very much for your support for the season and we look forward to you returning for an even better season in 2015
Merry Xmas to all

Hi all and welcome to R8 News Blog.

After a rained out round 7 it was good to get out and have a kick again in great conditions.
Next week is the last round before finals and your last chance to make a move up the ladder.


Finals Format

- Every team will play one Final.
- All finals will be played at Wesley.
- Final ladder positions will determine your opponent. (11v12,10v09........3v4,1v2)
- Times will be available next week but lower placed sides will play early and top 2 teams from each division will play last as our grand finalists.
- Only Grand Final Winners will receive a trophy for their division. (Panthers please return trophy to Macca this week)

End of season after match drinks

- We once again have the use of Coates pavilion and refreshments will be available at the bar along with our popular free Dim Sims.
- Please enjoy our after match drinks as proceeds go towards paying our umpires and it creates a great social atmosphere to finish off the season.
- Unfortunately we were unable to secure a sponsor for our Xmas finals and the extravaganza of last year has been tempered to a relaxing after match drink and mingle with team mates and other players.
- Please no BYO.

Anti-social behaviour

-As we get closer to Finals and ladder positions become more important we understand that the competitive nature of players goes up a notch. Please remember we are a social competition and way too experienced (old) to be involved in any physical contact.
-AFL9s is a non contact sport, this means not only when the ball in play, but also off the ball. Grabbing, pushing, holding and block off the all are all forms of contact and will not be tolerated by R40s. Umpires will be instructed to send off any players involved in off the ball incidents and intentional contact in general play, without them being replaced.
-If an umpires decides that a team is collectively not playing within the rules or the spirit of the game, the game will be called off and awarded to the other side. (This has never happened at R40s and we hope it never will.)

Umpires

Over the next 2 weeks could all players do their best to accept the umpires decision. This will go along way to avoiding any nasty incidents and create a more enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. Umpires like players interpret the rules a little differently so if one umpire is paying free kicks that another umpire did not........ adapt, work out how he umpires and adapt!!

Next Season
R40s is in the process of firming up venues and length of  Summer season. The start date will be the 2nd of Feb, the 1st Monday of the school term. Easter will interfere with the season and we are working on the logistics of that. Could all team captains please notify me ASAP of their intention to continue next season. New teams Welcome.
It is very important to get in as soon as possible as the Summer season may have to be capped.

ANZAC DAY 2015 Lightening premiership
On the 25th of April 2015, we remember all the soldiers who fought and died at Gallipoli in 1915. We have been invited by the East Malvern RSL to join in the Centenary activities by hosting an inaugural East Malvern RSL 9s Lightening P'ship cup. This will be a unique opportunity for teams and players to be part of this huge event and pay their respects to those that have fought and died for their country.  We are very proud to host this event and would encourage all teams to get involved and join in the entire days activities starting at dawn service. Don't just watch, be a part of remembrance day 2015!!
Once again flag your teams interest early to avoid disappointment.

Hi All and Welcome to Rd 6 News Blog.

We're getting towards the business end of the season and finals are only a month away. The reports back from most umpires was that games were played with a good attitude and a healthy respect for the opposition. Contact was kept to a minimum and there were no reports of serious injuries, all in all a good round. 

Umpires
Despite popular belief our umpires do try to be consistent but often it is a hard game to umpire and trying to adjudicate contact can be difficult. We are looking for umpires so if people are unhappy with our current crop I can organize a whistle for you and see how you go. Umpires want to enjoy the game to, so please accept the decision and get on with it.

Swearing
Can I just remind everyone that swearing and foul language is unacceptable in our competitions and is not the sort of atmosphere we're trying to create, so please assist us in this en devour.

CAR PARKING

Basil reserve parking -

Apparently a number of guys may have been booked a week or so ago after one resident rang Stonnington
with people parked in permit zones and across residents drive ways blocking access to their property.
In future can we please park out the back of Dunlop reserve (DW Lucas) in train carpark (Darling train station) and simply walk down here. That will assist in keeping local residents onside plus hopefully minimise fines for our guys.

Wesley Parking Issues-
People are still parking in where the buses pick up the kids, Inside gate 1 of the Wesley entrance . Please do not park where it says buses only as they still need to pick up kids late due to sports and other events. This is the second time the security has brought it to my attention and it may start to impact on the use of the grounds, please assist.

New Footy's

As you may have seen we have new footy's for the games these are only to be used for the games and not kicked around before hand. They are a touch smaller but otherwise the same do your best to adjsut.

Just a short one this week
As always until next week 'Watch your contact'

Hi all and welcome to Rd 5 News Blog.

I hope everyone had a successful spring carnival and  enjoyed themselves.  Round 5 suggested that the carnival may not have been good to some as a few players struggled to play within the boundaries of our competition. Please take a deep breath and remember why we're out there, no one enjoys a heated game and it should not be up to the umpires to control players.  Umpires will make mistakes just as the players do, the last thing we want to do is send players off, but as a last resort we will have no other option if blokes continue to play outside the rules and display unsportsmanlike behavior. 

Please help the umpires by;
- Not creating a contests. ( if you can't get there without making contact pull up )
-Accepting Decisions (even if you believe they are totally wrong...get on with it )
-Keeping banter between the opposition friendly. 
-Displaying Sportsmanship ( hand back the ball, Don't deliberately go over mark, be honest if you were last to touch the ball, shake hands before/after the game)
- Enjoying yourself'  (have a laugh with opposition, team mates and umpires.)
- Reading the rules and playing within them. (check website)

To finish my rant, can  I make myself perfectly clear AFL9s is a "non contact" sport, this means no contact, full stop. We have tags for tackling so there is no reason to contact your opposition when grabbing a tag. backing into players under the flight of the ball is also seen as contact, players believe that because they are in front when backing up they should get the free, this is not the case. The player initiating the contact will be penalized weather in front or at the back. There is no shepherding grabbing or blocking, each player shall play the ball on it's merits. As pointed out above please read the rules and play within them.

Under 35YO Players
As you know each team is allowed 2 under 35 players on the field at any one time. The rule was originally set up to allow dads to play with sons. That rules has been relaxed a little and  teams are using young blokes as fill ins. This is fine for now and will be reviewed at the end of season.

Footy Boots
Some players are still rolling up with footy boots, only Grass cats or hockey style runners are appropriate. This does not include blades. We will be policing footwear over the remainder of the season as it may impact on our future ground hire.

Swearing 
Given the close proximity to housing and specifically in the case of Wesley a secondary school, please refrain from swearing as much as possible. I understand that one or two may slip out, through frustration but please do your best to keep it down. ( swearing at opposition is totally unforgivable and will be an immediate send off. )

Hi all and Welcome to Round 4 news Blog

The Wheat is starting to spread from the chaff as the ladder start to take shape nearing the half way point of the comp. Surprise Chaff has been the once mighty St.Michaels Boys who, like Geelong seem to be on the down slope of the bell curve. Also on the wain in Div 1 is Ringwood North Thunder. Trevs boys after winning 3 P'ships in a row look to be struggling. 
On the Flip side it looks like the Sunday training session are paying off for the Scraggers with the Big Dogz and the Smackoz both at the top of the table. Good to see the Ashy boys firing up with both their 1st and 2nd Division teams near the top of the table. New Comers the Pretenders might have something to say about that as they look a class above in their 2nd Div matches so far. Good to see Dave Allen's Glen Waverley Rovers Topping the table of 3rd Div, obviously reaping the benefits of 3 seasons experience. 
I hope all teams are enjoying the social atmosphere of  R40 AFL9s regardless of ladder positions and look fwd to the rest of the season.


Cup Week
As you all know we have a bye this Monday night due to the Melbourne cup long weekend. Round 5 commences on the 10th of November so check your fixtures. 2nd Div remember to check if you are at Wesley or Basil reserve as your teams rotate through both. Please check fixtures through the Website or the App as previous spreadsheet correspondence may be incorrect.

R40 Upcoming Events

Rd 5 After match Event 
In round 5 we are keen for everyone to stay for a meal and a chat after their games. We have asked for the kitchen to stay open a little later to cater for our players. We are hoping Wesley teams can also make it back for the event as well to enjoy the social atmosphere.  Could all players please indicate to their respective captains if they will be attending so we can gauge numbers for the Kitchen. Families and past players welcome.

Xmas Finals Event
Any one who played last year will realise how big this event is. Once again we will endeavour to play all finals at Wesley so we can get all teams at one Venue. This day is just as much about the family as it is finals. Once again Santa will be there for the kids the sausage sizzle will be on again and throw in a couple of jumping castles, face painters and mascots and all are happy. The Bar will be open for the Adults in the Pavilion..... Keeping them happy. Once again as it gets closer we would ask that players tell their captains if they're family are coming for catering purposes. 

Non Contact Social Competition
The heading says it all, this is what Roaring 40s strive for each week. Please don't forget that we are out on the field to get some exercise and have some fun. We're not playing for sheep stations, so if you find yourself getting a little worked up remember what your here for. Umpires reported a good round this week with contact kept to a minimum, so I think the message is getting through, good work men.


See you all on the 10th...... don't for get the after match and above all "watch your Contact".

Hi all and Welcome to R40s Weekly News Blog.

All Results and Ladders have been updated and can now be viewed on our website and Smart app. Thank you for your patience while we were sorting thing out with Sporting Pulse.

Contact
Unfortunately on Monday night a young 16 YO lad from St.Benedicts Tigers was knocked out after some accidental contact. The positive is that young Ryan is nursing a sore head but is otherwise fine. I will say it again - if you are not in a position to gain possession of the ball without making contact... don't try. This means pull up before the contact. 

AFL9s tactis to reduce the risk of Contact

I know being a backman can be very frustrating but your best weapon is to read the play better and cut it off before it gets to the forward.  As you might have guessed by now long bombs into the forward line are not the answer. The best teams chip it around the field creating space for fwds to run into, not only does this reduce the risk of contact but it brings more players into the game.

Tag Tackles
Although Monday night was an improvement, player’s are still not focusing on the tags when trying to stop a player with possession. Trying to tackle someone in order to grab the tag is also not allowed but very inventive. Also a clean grab of the tag is preferred over removing the pants and tag of your opponent.

Rules
A forward is allowed to dribble it along the ground, as is the fashion these days, when shooting for goal. So Backman don't just let it go, thinking it's a turn over or a goal may result.
Ruckman - after the initial ball up the ruckman are no longer involved in the play until touched by a midfielder.
Midfielders - if you charge through the centre attempting to rove the ruckman you will be penalised if you make contact with the opposition even if you gain possession. Take your time you have 3 seconds to get rid of it after your Tag is removed.  Only after taking possession from the ball up is this the case in general play if a tag is removed while in your possession your GONE!!

RSL Support
I would like to thank all the teams playing at Basil for your ongoing support and attendance at the RSL after match drinks.  We are getting some good numbers back after the games which is fantastic for our social competition.  Our community memberships are still available and you can download the forms on our website.

That’s it for another week, I hope everyone is enjoying our comp and continues to play in friendly social atmosphere that everyone can enjoy.

Remember to "watch your contact" see ya next week.

R40s AFL9s.
