PINT’s Elliot Chalmers, Thomas Schott and Spencer Harvey cop bans for umpire abuse

Several PINT leaders, including their club president, are facing charges after allegedly abusing or insulting an umpire during their most recent Men’s Premier League match. See the charges.

PINT could be down both its captain and vice-captain, as well as its club president, for the club’s final match of the season after they were all charged with abusing an umpire.

Captain Thomas Schott, vice-captain Elliot Chalmers and club president Spencer Harvey were all charged with using abusive, insulting or obscene language towards an umpire.

It came in the fourth quarter of a thrilling Round 17 contest where their opposition, the Tiwi Bombers, mounted a thrilling comeback to win 8.8 (56) to 6.9 (45).

PINT had previously kicked six goals in a row to take control of the game at DXC Arena, and though the side was no longer in contention for finals, a win at home would have been a needed boost.

Both Schott and Chalmers were graded at the high level for abusing an umpire and were given a base sanction of a three match ban.

Harvey was graded at the low level and was given a base sanction of two matches for joining in.

All three decided to argue their case at the tribunal, which took place on Wednesday night, to get the bans reduced or withdrawn.

They will join Tiwi’s Marlion Pickett who was given a four match ban of his own after allegedly head-butting and kicking Southern Districts player Steven Motlop in Round 16.

The Richmond Tigers premiership player’s case was deferred to be heard a week later alongside the PINT matters.

Cameron Wilson, also from PINT, was charged with carelessly making contact with an umpire during the fourth quarter.

He was handed a one match penalty, but could choose to accept a reprimand with an early guilty plea.

In the women’s competition, Arthurina Moreen was charged with threatening an umpire during her side’s match with top of the table PINT.

She was given a four match ban.
