The AFL will appeal against the AFLW tribunal reducing Richmond midfielder Eilish Sheerin’s penalty for umpire contact to a fine in a hearing on Thursday.The AFL will appeal against the AFLW tribunal reducing Richmond midfielder Eilish Sheerin’s penalty for umpire contact to a fine in a hearing on Thursday.
“Had we been satisfied ... that Sheerin had engaged in such conduct, then the sanction would have been a significant one, involving far more than a fine,” Enbom said. In her evidence, Sheerin said she was “very sorry” the umpire had fallen over, adding the collision “wasn’t my intention”. Sheerin said she was trying to minimise Nanscawen’s space at the stoppage and create room for herself. “I didn’t expect her to go to ground,” she added.
“Sheerin’s explanation of what occurred is not inconsistent with the vision,” Enbom said. “The push does not appear to involve much force. awkwardly falls to ground, which may be partly because she was off-balance ... the umpire moves backwards and the collision occurs.”On Thursday, Nanscawen said it wasn’t her place to give her opinion on the collision and she would leave it to the. “I haven’t been asked to comment on it so I’ll let them do what they would like to,” Nanscawen said.
