The AFL will announce their decision in relation to allegations St Kilda’s Lance Collard used a homophobic slur during a VFL match on Friday after failing to reach a decision by the 5pm deadline.
The disciplinary tribunal hearing lasted almost four hours and tribunal chair Jeff Gleeson said, although they were close to a decision they were unable to deliver one and the accompanying reasons until Friday.
Sleepless night for a few people. It’s a fascinating case.
Therefore, the tribunal is set to publish written findings.
“We are confident that we’ll be able to deliver brief written reasons tomorrow,” said chairman Jeff Gleeson KC. “I can’t say what time, but we’re mindful of the fact that it’s Friday and the stresses that this places on everyone, this issue.”
