WA Football advises that East Perth have lodged an appeal after player Scott Jones was suspended for three matches following an incident in Saturday’s Sullivan Logistics WAFL WAFL First Semi-Final clash against Perth at Mineral Resources Park.
Jones was reported for rough conduct after an incident in the opening term of the Royals’ two-point victory on Saturday, with the WAFL Match Review Panel sending it straight to the WAFL Tribunal.
The incident was graded as careless conduct, high impact and high contact by the WAFL Tribunal on Tuesday night.
East Perth Football Club has opted to appeal the ban and will front the WAFL Tribunal Appeals Panel on Thursday evening.
If unsuccessful, Jones will miss Sunday’s blockbuster Preliminary Final against Claremont at Revo Fitness Stadium and the Grand Final at Optus Stadium on Sunday, September 20, should the Royals make it.
The winner of Sunday’s clash goes up against minor premiers Peel Thunder in the decider.
