The football community is mourning the passing of former AFL Commission chairman Ron Evans, who passed away Friday, March 9. Evans, 67, stepped down as chairman several weeks ago due to his battle with cancer and had recently been re-admitted to the hospital where he died Friday morning. He was first diagnosed with abdominal cancer last September.

NAB Cup Round Three Tribunal
TRIBUNAL
Charges Laid:
Daniel Cross (WB), first offense of making contact with umpire Ray Chamberlain: a first offense incurs a fine of $3200. An early plea would have reduced the fine 25% to a $2400 fine. Cross unsuccessfully challenged the charge, rejecting the reduced fine and therefore will be required to pay the full $3200 fine.
Nic Fosdike (SYD), striking Tiger Matthew White: reckless conduct (two points), medium impact (two points), and high contact (two points), equaling six points, a Level Three offense, 225 demerits and a two game suspension.
League Sanctions Gamblers
The four players - Simon Goodwin, Kieren Jack, Daniel Ward, and David Hale - caught gambling on AFL matches have all been ordered to undergo counseling. Three were fined. The crimes and punishments:
Simon Goodwin, Adelaide: placed four bets on football matches totaling $16,024.58 although two of those bets (totaling $12,000) were placed by a friend using Goodwin's telephone account. Compulsory continued counseling and a $40,000 with half of that suspended.
Daniel Ward, Melbourne: 18 bets on football totaling $3705.00. He will also undergo counseling and was fined $10,000 with half suspended. He also offered himself for 100 hours of community service to Berry Street, a child protection charity.

Court And Club Fine Eagle Star
by Lisa Albergo reporting for AFANA from Chicago
Just hours before the Eagles were due to play their first round NAB Cup game, Daniel Kerr - who was not selected in the team - was arrested for disorderly conduct. Apparently, Kerr accompanied a friend to the hospital after the latter fell ill while the pair were at a restaurant. Kerr was asked to leave the hospital by staff because of his behavior. Kerr allegedly then got into an altercation with a cab driver outside the hospital, jumped on the trunk of the cab, and broke off the rear aerial. Police are also investigating claims Kerr struck the cabbie with the aerial. He was later arrested in a nearby suburb and taken to the local station where he shared a cell with an Eagle supporter. The unnamed supporter said Kerr was drunk and still in a confrontational mood as he threatened a "punch-up" after the supporter spoke to him.
Kerr was found guilty of drunk and disorderly, assault, and willful damage in a Perth Court. Kerr, whose lawyer said Kerr had no recollection of the incident because of extreme intoxication,
