Not sure about the West game, however
Noticed the ladies premier league game at Mars had an Nbl official last week
Lucky he was on that game
Glad to see the girls comp getting more respect with new referee manager this year
all games had nbl and wnbl officials on the games.
Norwood V North - one wnbl official
Norwood v Woodville - one nbl official
South V West - one nbl official
West v Sturt - one nbl & one wnbl plus one seabl official.
not the new ref manager making the call it happens every year.
the officiating at South v West womens game was absolutely shocking.
the game by the last quarter had gotten out of control.
Mahony flopping and getting the call each time.

Firstly, I wish to say that I am an impartial (I'm sure Isaac can agree) spectator who was at the game. It appears that you may be a West Adelaide supporter. Whilst the refereeing at the South v West game was fairly average, the actions of the West players in the last quarter, and in particular one player was out of control. Jess Mahony was targeted, with or without the ball by the player who was eventually ejected from the game for unsportsmanlike actions (intentional under the old rule) which would not have been out of place on a rugby field. Your suggestion that Jess was guilty of flopping borders on the ludicrous. The behaviour of the team was very sad coming from a once proud club. The actions of the coach (which were missed by the referees) included giving the South supporters the "bird" on at least two occassions. I'm sure that you will reply to this post accusing me of all sorts of bias, but as I stated I am impartial and I just went to the game hoping to see a great contest, but in the end left with a poor opinion of the West Adelaide team.

Actually Jess was warned by the referees for flopping, so not so ludicrous...the long-term West people should not be tarnished by the actions of a couple of newbies.

West men needed strong reffing which we got from 2 but the third was not up to it. 2 clear out of court in front of his nose not called and 2 leaps over the back taking a player to the floor did not receive the warranted unsportsmanlike. and a whole lot of 4th ref occurring with no warning or tech. This is not football where you run up a back to get a ball but that just played in to Sturts hand and made them more determine so not so bad as it seems.

I can say with certainty that the West coach did not flip the South spectators the bird. I don't expect you to believe that 544169 but the west coach didn't engage the spectators at all. That's not to say the bird wasn't flipped, but definitely not at any South spectators

So you say the Coach was flipping birds but not at the South Crowd? was he just angry with his Mumma a ref or an ex?
nothing like a biased impartial point of view
South supporters were a disgrace and deserved any bird they got
coming onto court and personal attacks on players should not be tolerated
between 20-30 times on the ground IS flopping

So where in any code of conduct or in any club expectation does it suggest that such alleged coach behaviour is warranted?
you're the only person who saw alleged bird
Game Commissioner was blind Freddy that night what he allowed to continue
if you say it's so then it most definitely, without doubt must be fact
I believe every Hoops unbiased post
I believe about half from each side - the South crowd would have been loud (and excellent), and Mahoney most definitely would have been flopping.

So when are BSA going to shell out to have 3 on the womens game?
You mean the clubs. The referees are paid for out of the clubs administration fee to enter the competition. If you want 3 on women its the clubs who pay for it. That aint going to happen.

Actually, clubs pay fro referee's on top of the admin fee's.
clubs haven't approved 3 referee's on the women's game talk to the clubs.
Clubs didn't approve 3 officials for the Mens either.
Going Rate
Years ago
So if clubs pay the refs, what is the going rate, and can they undercut that rate for a rubbish performance?
The clubs approved it as long as they didnt have to pay anymore money. The referees took a pay cut. There are not enough referees in SA to run 3 person on both men and women without doubling up.
There are not enough GOOD refs to have 3-man now.
