Luke Jericho to front tribunal

TRIBUNAL REPORTS

Norwood’s Luke Jericho will front the Tribunal tonight at 5.30 charged with acting in a manner detrimental to the image, spirit and best interests of the League.

Eagles’ Chris Kane will front the Tribunal tonight at 5.50 to respond to a charging report.

Central’s James Boyd has accepted a two match suspension for a striking charge.

As a follower of Luke's on Twitter, I'm sure this is about his tweet relating to the Kane/Gallagher incident.

I'm not a real fan of this one being cited, to be honest.

Granted, Jericho's message was directly related to the incident, but the game is being sanitised a bit heavily nowadays in some ways. If Jericho is being cited for his reaction, then surely there should be another 20 players from both teams also up before the Tribunal for their immediate and physical reaction to the incident - and they haven't, rightly so.

The timing of both reported players entering and leaving the Tribunal tonight may be interesting also

"detrimental to the image, spirit and best interests of the League"

Did they say in what way? He considered the incident reportable, so did the umpires .. so are they being charged with the same offence?

I think his tweet about Chris Kane, suggesting he go and play country football, might be the reason.

I'd think he'll get a reprimand only, as it doesn't deserve more than that, if anything, but they'll want to send a message to players to be careful what they tweet.

Jericho Tweeted...

Chris Kane go play country footy you hack #dirty #hack #sanfl #legseags

The only reason I can think of that they've reported him for such benign comments is if they're saying they don't want players commenting on reports before they've been heard.

He received a reprimand. (#wristslap)
