An AFL umpires’ coach has failed to reverse a decision to terminate his employment after an incident involving a jogger on an oval. Multiple outlets report that the coach, described as a veteran, was dismissed following conduct toward a person who allegedly refused to leave the playing surface when asked. The incident is reported as involving him “manhandling” the jogger, with some descriptions characterising it as a “frog-marching” jogger off the oval. The coach sought to challenge the termination, attempting to have the decision overturned through the available review or appeals process. However, the outcome remains that he does not regain his role. The reporting is consistent that the central issue is the coach’s conduct during the confrontation, and that his efforts to return to his position have been unsuccessful.
