Brisbane, Carlton and North Melbourne Stars Learn Fate at AFL Tribunal
VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, JUL 14 – The AFL Tribunal ruled Zac Bailey’s bump as medium impact and upheld Tristan Xerri’s three-match ban for severe careless conduct, reflecting the league’s new crackdown on rough play.
- AFL tribunal held hearings on Tuesday for Carlton's Adam Cerra, Brisbane's Zac Bailey, and North Melbourne's Tristan Xerri regarding recent on-field incidents and sanctions.
- Cerra's referral followed a collision during last week's loss to Brisbane and marked his fourth booking under the AFL's new umpire contact crackdown announced earlier this month.
- North Melbourne plans to appeal Xerri's three-game ban for knocking out Melbourne's Tom Sparrow, while Brisbane unsuccessfully challenged Bailey's one-match ban for striking Carlton's Nick Haynes.
- The tribunal fined Cerra $5,500, Carlton faces a $5,000 fine, and Xerri's suspension will rule him out of matches against Sydney, Geelong, and St Kilda, impacting his All-Australian chances.
- These tribunal outcomes highlight ongoing AFL concerns about umpire collisions and player safety, while debates continue over the new measures and their penalties.
