TU: Hold Day
TD: Sell
I’m thinking Day to McGovern and then Doc to Daicos.
McGovern will find more of the footy and take more kick outs with Doc out, he’s got Crows and then back to Marvel where he just scored 124.
Day an easy upgrade target in 2 weeks
Tom Lynch has also had his case dismissed by the Tribunal.
Chairman Jeff Gleeson said Lynch intended to fly for the mark and once he realised he misjudged it, kept his eyes on the ball and then braced for contact.
“He did not bump and he did not engage in rough conduct,” Gleeson said.
Will Day will challenge his two-match suspension at the AFL Tribunal
When can we expect a decision
It begins at 3:30, so definitely before Blues v Crows.
Gary Rohan will challenge his one-match suspension at the AFL Tribunal
Gees, the tribunal is pretty i affective in its current format.
Get suspended- challenge it and you’re free- especially if you play for Blues or Tigers!
