TRIBUNAL records have revealed Braybrook as the Western Region Football League’s most undisciplined club in the senior ranks this year as the competition probes its latest ugly incident.

Saturday’s final-round senior and reserves matches between the Bombers and Sanctuary Lakes were abandoned, with two Sharks players sent to hospital.

The WRFL has launched an investigation after two Sanctuary Lakes players were allegedly struck to the head in separate brawls.

The league would not confirm how many players had been reported from the cancelled matches and the investigation remains ongoing.

However, tribunal records show six Braybrook senior players have copped suspensions this season, five for striking.

Tyrone Charles (four weeks, striking), David May (two weeks, striking), Terry Sinclair (two weeks, striking), Tasi Faleiva (two weeks, striking), Jason Cousins (two weeks, abusive language) and Manuel Reardon (two weeks, striking) received penalties.

All those players, except Charles, accepted the automatic suspension of two weeks for their offences.

Newport Power has had four players suspended, while Werribee Districts, St Albans, Wyndhamvale and Laverton have had one each, meaning only six of the league’s 24 clubs have had senior players handed sanctions.

Leader is not suggesting Braybrook was solely to blame for the weekend’s incidents.

Ambulances were called to Point Cook’s Featherbrook Reserve to assist two Sanctuary Lakes’ players, who have both since been discharged from hospital after being treated for concussions.

“There is absolutely no place in any form of sport for what our players, supporters and officials experienced on the weekend,” Sanctuary Lakes president Gavin Young said in a statement.

“The cowardly acts of a minority has tarnished this great game over the weekend that was witnessed by all areas of our club including juniors, female players and supporters.

“In saying that we would like to recognise the efforts of the umpires of both games, opposition club president and opposition senior coach for assisting in containing the situation.

“Finally we have great confidence in the WRFL and the pending investigation and will not be commenting any further to ensure due process is followed.”

Optimism was rife at Braybrook over summer.

After a barren run, the WRFL’s oldest club — boosted by some handy recruits — targeted a finals appearance in 2017.

The season started brightly before injuries took their toll.

The Bombers finished their campaign in second-last position with a paltry three wins and Saturday marked a negative end to a forgettable year.

The WRFL also issued undisclosed fines to Yarraville-Seddon and Newport Power last month after their Division 2 clash was abandoned because of a scuffle between players.

One player involved in the match, Newport’s Ibrahim Mesto, was suspended.

And earlier this month, an umpire was allegedly assaulted after an under-15s grand final between Albion and Point Cook.

A 40-year-old Truganina man has since been charged with affray and two counts of assault.

WRFL chief executive Matthew Duck said recently behavioural incidents on field had decreased over the past decade.

“There has been a 39 per cent reduction in tribunal cases over the past five years,” he said.

“The tribunal performs an important role, but the improvement in player behaviour over the past 10 years is largely due to clubs setting clear behavioural expectations.”

Braybrook president Bryan Patten has been contacted for comment.
