布里斯班狮队后卫Ty Gallop因在周日比赛中对阿德莱德港队前锋Mitch Georgiades的报复行为被禁赛三场[1]。仲裁庭认定这一严重不当行为"在不运动精神的程度上令人震惊"[1]。禁赛期间,Gallop将无法出战对阵卡尔顿队、鹰队和黄金海岸队的比赛,最早可在第24轮对阵Collingwood队的比赛中复出[1]。
事件起因于Georgiades抓伤了Gallop受伤的右手大拇指,Gallop随后进行了报复,将对方面朝下推入地面[1]。Gallop已为其行为认罪并表示道歉,称"回头看现在的录像,我明白对所发生事情的报复是不公平的"[1]。Gallop是本赛季因严重不当行为被禁赛的第二名球员[1]。
Brisbane defender Ty Gallop has been suspended for three matches following a serious misconduct incident during Sunday's match against Port Adelaide, in which he retaliated against forward Mitch Georgiades [1]. The suspension covers games against Carlton, the Eagles, and Gold Coast, with Gallop unable to return until Round 24 against Collingwood [1].
The incident occurred after Georgiades deliberately scratched Gallop's injured right thumb, prompting Gallop to push him face-first into the ground [1]. Gallop has acknowledged his actions, stating: "Looking back now and watching the footage, I understand that the retaliation to what happened wasn't fair" [1]. Arbitration tribunal chair Jeff Gleeson KC described the conduct as particularly troubling, noting: "The vision of the serious misconduct is startling in the degree to which it is unsportsmanlike" [1].
Gallop becomes the second player this season to receive a suspension for serious misconduct [1]. The tribunal hearing lasted approximately one hour, with the decision rendered within 50 minutes [1].
