UPDATE:
Wednesday: Brett Moloney got his charge reduced at the tribunal to 93.75 and is free to play.
Monday 5:15pm: The Match Review Panel findings are in and Barry Hall has received XXX weeks. Full Details here as well as other things looked at.
Monday 4:40pm: Herald Sun is speculating that Hall will get just a fine for the weekends incident.
Did anything happen in Round 9 that could go to the Tribunal? Nah, wouldn’t have thought so. Am sure I would have heard about it, right? Oh, there was the Barry Hall incident and a few more from the Dogs v Roos game. This is going to be an interesting week. In my opinion, Hall (reported in the game) has to be given weeks by the Match Review Panel but the Dogs should go to the tribunal and try to defend it. If you have no idea what I am talking about, here is the video of the incident:
On with the details of the week in reports/tribunal/MRP/Suspensions:
