With all the early controversy with the interchange bench I did buddy leave the field within the rules ?

Question

did Buddy leave the field and come back thru the interchange gate?

Answer 1

it wasnt really an interchange

the game stopped so it wasnt really in teh match, and he came back on and then it started again

but seeing as it was the security who took him off and the afl who says to do that, i am pretty sure it was within the rules dude..

Answer 2

it was so he could get away from the crazy loonys they ran onto the field...if they kept him out there all the people would of stayed on the ground

Answer 3

No, he did not go through the interchange. I watched it on TV last night.

Answer 4

Danni: Crazy loonies???? Way back Peter McKenna got 100 at Collingwood against the Bloods. My young bloke raced out on the ground. Five minutes later, everybody was off and the game continued - no incidents. Tony Lockett got his 100 (or was it 150(?), a far greater achievement), everyone ran on the ground. He wasn't shepherded off. The game went on after 5 minutes or so. Why is BF taken from the ground anyway? Crazy loonies, according to Danni? What? Young adoring children joining in the celebrations - crazy loonies???

$6,000 fine for going on the ground is the AFL's answer to these anticipated revels. Lighten up everybody, it's only a game. The AFL builds up the hype, and at the same time tries to stamp it out. Chill Andrew you log.

Answer 5

It was never an interchange as no one came on the ground to replace him. What did get me thinking though was the interchange players at the time, did they run onto the field? :S

Answer 6

it was never an interchange it was designed as security point for Buddy's and all the other players safety because the AFL knew that even with the threat of $6000 fines they were never going to stop the fans from jumping the fence

Answer 7

I think that should warrant a re-match!

Far out! 10/10 for your observation! :))))
