@shanemcinnes @TonyShaw22 This is less about the afl not having a reason and more about lawyers taking the required time to document the summation whilst ensuring the legal elements are accurately captured and explained...even more so considering the attention this matter has garnered.

Shane McInnes@shanemcinnes·3h

@TonyShaw22 They never gave their reasons though. Shawry. They said “guilty. $1500. We’ll tell you why tomorrow”. Farcical.

He’s disappointed with the result, and to make it worse, is given no reason as to why the verdict is what it is. Not good enough.

@TonyShaw22 @shanemcinnes If the umpire is adamant and the afl dont back him then what is the knock on effect on all umpires? If Foot quits after 15 years because the afl didnt back him then the afl has a greater umpiring issue.

English

Tony Shaw@TonyShaw22·3h

@shanemcinnes Reason is tribunal believed ump and didn’t like little shift in Butters recollections Shane. Can’t see anything changing if Port appeal. Tell Zac you believe him. Zac can always state his innocence and Port save $10k.

@FOXFOOTY @LaurenHeraldSun Aflpa off the top ropes is ridiculous and inflammatory.

Fox Footy@FOXFOOTY·59m

THEY HAVE TO... DON'T THEY ⁉️ Port Adelaide are "angry and bemused". Zak Butters is "completely filthy". So, surely the Power appeal? Plus, the "astronomical" cost on the AFL, as revealed by @LaurenHeraldSun on #MidweekTackle 💰 REACTION & FALLOUT ➡️ bit.ly/3O1DY27

@bradeningram And what about the AFLUA?? How happy are they about how their umpire has been treated??

English

Braden Ingram@bradeningram·2h

I understand the AFL players association is incensed by the Zak Butters decision. Its chief James Gallagher has already spoken with the Port star who is understandably livid. A decision on whether the Power appeal will wait until the club receives the tribunal’s findings tomorrow. @FootyonNine

Time for the AFLPA to go into battle for their players with a very strong public stance, which new AFLPA boss James Gallagher is up for. Port is shattered by the ruling but also bemused by little things like having to wait until tomorrow for the explanation for the ruling which means it has to wait to decide upon an appeal

@RalphyHeraldSun Jon, what process does the AFL follow when assessing 3rd party roles? Considering its link with betting agencies what does the afl do to ensure no inappropriate behaviour takes place. Has Foot ever been reprimanded in his 15 years of umpiring?

English

Jon Ralph@RalphyHeraldSun·13h

How the crazy day played out yesterday 👇 The AFL scoffs at any talk that Foot shouldn’t be allowed to have a second job in racing which includes the Sportsbet link. Butters certainly wasn’t aware of it. But there are some in AFL House who say the optics aren’t great especially because of the reaction we have seen over the past 24 hours. He isn’t a shrinking violet. He would have had plenty of byplay over 270 games with AFL players. So clearly believes he heard it & believes it attacked his integrity. What a challenging tribunal coming up

@LaurenHeraldSun The hypocrisy within the media is alarming. The industry is littered with betting agreements, sponsorships and endorsements however an umpire is the only person whose integrity is challenged. The AFLs only interest in optics is if it involves a specsavers sponsorship.

Lauren Wood@LaurenHeraldSun·13h

People howled us down for writing this story last year. Whether the AFL has an issue with the optics of an official working at a betting agency is up to them. But at the very least doing so opens it up to alleged comments being taken in a range of ways. heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/gamb…

@CoreyMcKernan What its done is highlighted a genuine gap in our list. We need a capable 2nd ruck almost as much as that KPD we have all wanted for years. Goad still has a way to go. X playing heavy minutes leaves him susceptible to fatigue and injury.

💯 he mucked up and he owned it…. He loves playing all four quarters of every game. Maybe we find out more on who steps up?

Nick Brown@NickBrownie_2

Hearing a lot of “X owes us this,” “X owes us that.” What a load of rubbish. He made a stupid mistake that he’s missing three weeks for. The bloke has busted his ass for the past 2 1/2 years, week in/week out, in the grimmest of times, whilst being our best player in that space.

Jon Ralph@RalphyHeraldSun·1d

We officially have Collard 2.0. Nick Foot is doubling down, has told the AFL today he heard Butters say something much stronger than a query about why he paid a decision. Port backing Butters. If neither party backs down by late this arvo we are likely off to a tribunal, which could hear the case ungraded. How else can the AFL solve it?

Confirmation from the AFL of the timing of this hearing. It will again be open to media so we will get to hear the submissions of St Kilda and the AFL, which asked for a 10 week ban that would be served after his two-week VFL striking suspension

Jon Ralph@RalphyHeraldSun

The Collard penalty hearing will be 3pm tomorrow. Why the AFL granted St Kilda the right to appeal after that hearing and not immediately after the independent panel upheld the allegation. St Kilda on wrapping their arms around their player 👇
