including finals.

Feedback for the OAFL
The Dingos were wondering what the process was behind introducing the Central Blues into the league.
It had a detremental effect on the Dingos and so we would have liked to have provided some input before
the decision was made for consideration during the process.

The Dingos provided feedback during the year on head high tackles and hits.  In summary we believe
that offenders should be given longer suspensions than were provided this year.  Precedence is a fine
tool to use for suspensions but only if the precedencts are suitable.  A head high tackle should be
severly discouraged in the OAFL or players will chose other sports to play.

With regard to umpires for the finals, the Dingos talked to an umpire that was scheduled to umpire the
semi-final beween us and the Hawks.  When the Hawks discovered there were playing in this game the
Director of umpiring (who plays for the Hawks) told him that he wouldn't be umpiring for undisclosed
reasons.  As a result we would like to see the umpire schedules posted well in advance (especially
for finals) and any changes made known to the teams involved as well as reasons for changes.

The Dingos encourage the use of Friday night games but would like to see them spread at least between
Humber North and Humber south so that the Roos don't enjoy so much of a home ground advantage.

Reiterated from From Last Year

Runners/Water Carries
Each team should be allowed one Water Carrier and One Runner on the field during game play.  Both of
these people should be easily identfied by the umpire by a bright yellow t-shirt or something equivalent.
Teams breaking these rules should be docked one goal for first infraction, entire current score for
second infraction.  This will promote a more professional level of OAFL game.
