    Reminder: Training Allocations

    Picture
    Hi all Coaches and Managers,
    I've been contacted by the President of the Warners Bay AFL Club at Feighan Oval, Warners Bay. It's come to my attention that a young team is currently training there.
    Please be aware that until training slots are officially allocated, our only approved training venues are Lakelands Oval and Hillsborough Oval.
    Crucially: Players and coaches are not covered by insurance if training takes place anywhere other than these designated locations, unless prior approval has been explicitly granted. Training at Feighan Oval has not been approved.
    Let's ensure we respect other sporting codes and maintain good relationships. We wouldn't want AFL teams using our John St. grounds without permission.
    Thanks for your cooperation.
    Nathan Aurisch
    President

    Message from Macquarie Football re Jewellery

    We have been receiving some queries and feedback seeking clarification about jewellery being worn on the field of play on match day.

    A reminder has been issued to our registered match officials, and I urge you to please share this information with your Team Officials and Players:

    All items of jewellery must be removed before the start of the match. The use of tape to cover jewellery is not permitted.

    All items of jewellery (necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, leather bands, rubber bands, etc.) are strictly forbidden and must be removed. Using tape to cover jewellery is not acceptable. Referees are also prohibited from wearing jewellery (except for a watch or similar device for timing the match).
    However, if in the opinion of the Referee, a medical bracelet or necklace presents no danger, then it may be allowed on the condition that it can be taped or bandaged to the body to provide protection. A medical bracelet can be covered by a tight wrist guard and similarly, a medical necklace can be sufficiently padded.

    If a player is discovered to be wearing unauthorised clothing or jewellery during play, the referee must:
    1. Inform the player that the item must be removed;
    2. Order the player to leave the field of play at the next stoppage if he or she is unable or unwilling to comply; 
    3. Caution the player if he or she wilfully refuses to comply or, having been told to remove the item, is discovered to be wearing the item again. If play is stopped to caution the player, an indirect free kick must be awarded to the opposing team from the position of the ball when play was stopped.
