NAB Cup Round Three Tribunal

by Lisa Albergo reporting for AFANA from Chicago

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.

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,
