1. A team manager for the U/12 team sent a message ahead of the Newcastle Olympic game denigrating less fortunate members of society (housing commission) who reside close to Darling St oval. The manger has not been reprimanded by the club.

2. A defender within the U/12 team continues to target players in back play. In yesterdays game he karate kicked a NO player off the ball and subsequently scythed the same player down in the following play with the ball well and truly gone. What are Jaffas senior coaching figures doing about such behaviour. Will it take a serious injury to deal with and correct the beahviour?
Anyone who has ever played at darling st knows they are the first ones to banter the “people less fortunate🙄” behind the ground.

Anyone who has ever played NO has come up against players who don’t mind a back field cheap shot especially if the game isn’t going their way.

I don’t think that’s an isolated jaffas problem
