That's not something I do, but I deserved the penalty. The referee warned both coaches but I got excited and did it again.

They are warned not to ignite fireworks where animals are present. This carries a R1 000 penalty.

Why? Because it is adapted from England through the proliferation of English coaches in influential positions in the last three decades and it is completely non-technical and tactically infantile.

I warned the guys that this would be a physical match and the referee let it get out of hand. I issued our players a challenge to match up with (the Argonauts) physically.

I am not happy with the referee.

We believe we have done this in a way that not only rewards players for their achievements at the highest level of the game, but ensures all players actively contribute to FFA's efforts to establish football in Australia as a fully professional and commercially viable sport.
