League Statement: Tribunal Update

Results Handed Down


The charges against a West Coburg player arising from the match reports made in the Grand Final between Deer Park FC and West Coburg FC have been dealt with by the independent Tribunal.

As both parties are considering their respective appeal rights, the EDFL will not make announcements on this matter until it is finalised either on the hearing of the appeal (if one is lodged) or if no appeal is lodged on the expiration of the period of time allowed for the lodging of an appeal.

The EDFL has been informed that personal attacks and threats have been made on social media against the player charged and his family.

The EDFL condemns the making of threats against any individuals and points out that such actions are contrary to the EDFL policies, in particular its media policy.
