Kind of appropriate. A high noon stoush! Strap yourself in and get ready for the ride! It's about to get supercharged...... Rob Gerard will be on the phone to Greg Griifin right now!
Can someone from the Eagles camp post that email? Very interesting developments, if true.
This is on their website:
The club is disappointed at the result of yesterday’s Preliminary Final against North Adelaide.
During the first four minutes of the final quarter the coaching staff became aware of the fact that North Adelaide had 19 players on the field. Several on ground officials were immediately advised of the discrepancy.
As a result of this the Club, in consultation with our lawyers, have agreed to write to the SANFL citing law 5.1 of the Laws of the Game.
This correspondence with SANFL is to be lodged by midday today. The Club is waiting for a response regarding the breach. At the moment SANFL is still investigating the incident.
We will keep members and supporters informed on the progress of this matter.
