St Kilda Football Club is naturally disappointed with the decision handed down by the AFL disciplinary tribunal this afternoon. 

The process is ongoing, with further submissions from both parties to be made on any penalty. A date for this next step is yet to be confirmed.

The club is also reviewing the tribunal’s written findings and will consider its position, including avenues of appeal.  We will continue to support Lance Collard throughout this process.

As the matter remains ongoing, the club will make no further comment at this time.
