CibbuanoPort to appeal Burgoyne ban
May 20th 2008 23:13
PORT ADELAIDE will appeal the three-game suspension given to star midfielder Shaun Burgoyne by the AFL Tribunal.
Burgoyne was offered a three-game ban before the hearing - and still has this after the tribunal downgraded the level of impact his bump made to Hawthorn skipper Sam Mitchell's head from high to medium.
There is no risk of an increased penalty from an appeal, which must be lodged at the AFL by noon today. An appeal hearing would be heard on Thursday evening.
