Prelim: Brisbane v Hawthorn.

[KSAS]

The talk is Brisbane will plead for Lachie to get off with his long playing record, same as the tribumal did with Pendlebury. That is his only hope.

Surprised by the tribunal's decision to upheld the 1 match ban and not consider Lachie's umblemished record across his 320 career, as they had did with Pendlebury & Gary Ablett Jr.

Interesting Tribunal reasoning for not doing so because it was a deliberate striking action off the ball.

Brisbane will most likely appeal and will be an unwanted distraction to their GF prep.
