Baggetta warned about behaviour

JOSH ZIMMERMANSouth Western Times

Carey Park coach John Baggetta has been placed on a good behaviour bond after being charged with being audible to the crowd during the Panthers heavy loss to South Bunbury on Sunday.

Baggetta appeared before the South West Football League tribunal on Tuesday night after being reported for the incident, which occurred during the three-quarter time break.

The Panthers mentor loudly addressed his playing group before becoming involved in a brief verbal altercation with the nearby South Bunbury huddle.

Tribunal chair Kelvin Fisher warned Baggetta that any further transgressions would attract a much harsher sentence.

In a busy night for the tribunal, Collie Eagle Chris Cross had a striking charge dismissed and is free to play this weekend while an Eaton runner charged with misconduct in the same game received a severe reprimand.

The runner was charged after unnecessarily involving himself in a scuffle between players.

Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault colt Ty Armitage, who has also played six league games for the Lions, received a two-week suspended sentence after being charged with abusing an umpire.

Armitage is free to play but will automatically receive a two-game ban if he is reported again this season.
