    Re: Footballer punches teen umpire

    It's getting a bit of media coverage, and this idiot really should be made an example of. TCD's idea is pretty close to the mark of community expectation / judgement I'd expect.

    A 29 year old on a 16 year old, gutless before you even consider the circumstances, which make it worse.

        At least Bourke [knee'd] & Carmen [headbutted] men, this coward hit a kid.

        This coward was probably one of those."oh i'll deck the ex AFL player, just look how tough i am"!!!

        He should be hung out to dry.

          The player responsible was actually his clubs big recruit for the year. From all reports it was completely out of character but thats not going to help him now. The player might be familar to some WRFL people.

            The club has some regrets now i bet. Will stain the club too. Just an awful incident which needs a tough resolve.

              Has his name been released?

              At which WRFL club did he play?

                His name is Christian Innella. Moved to that club in the off season to play with his brother.

                    ex Hoppers boy. His brother (David) is/ has been a pretty good player around the traps for a number of years.

                      Sorry guys, but it's been pointed out to me that the player should not be named yet. Once it gets confirmed on radio or in the print media then he can be named. I've cleaned up a couple of contributions and can reinstate them later.

                        It's been confirmed so the posts have been reinstated.

                          He's apologised now. I don't this should make a difference. Ban the thug.

                                Don't agree, he will just go on and play another sport and intimidate others.

                                The AFL should ban this bloke for life from watching games and then post his picture on the score board at games letting everybody what type of thug he is.
