Thursday August 27, 2009 5:22

5:22

The AFL today announced its decision to impose a suspended sanction of $5000 on Sydney Swans coach Paul Roos for his remarks to an AFL Interchange Steward during the course of last week’s round 21 match against Collingwood at the MCG. The suspended sanction will be in place until the end of the 2010 season.

Roos abused the interchange steward after a free kick was correctly awarded against the Swans for breaching the rules regarding interchange procedures during the fourth quarter.

are they considering the decsion

Thursday August 27, 2009 7:50 tancs

The case is on. Everyone is hanging out for the decision. Will Buddy's presence help get the Hawks back in finals' action? Will Buddy power win out? How good are his legal team?

Thursday August 27, 2009 7:52

7:53

Wow, it's 50-50 for Buddy's poll .. probably shows how close this decision is ... and while it's taking a while.

Hawks really need to show some guts and determination this week if their going to get up this week without Buddy or not.

Thursday August 27, 2009 7:56 Noah

7:58

Good point Noah. I think whatever happens, Hawthorn has to prepare its team to play with or without Buddy. Then the team structure can hold up without Buddy. I think they have the capacity to beat Essendon ... but how badly do the Hawks want to make the finals? If Hawthorn wins, they will be the hungrier team.

The AFL appeals board has dismissed the challenge by Hawthorn forward Lance Franklin against his two-match ban.

After a hearing lasting nearly two-and-a-half hours, the three-man panel took just five minutes to rule on the appeal.

It means Franklin will miss Saturday's crucial match against Essendon, with the winner to take eighth spot for the finals.

Final word
