St Kilda Football Club is disappointed with the sanction imposed by the AFL Tribunal at today’s hearing.

The club is currently reviewing the Tribunal’s reasons, together with the original judgement, and will consider potential avenues of appeal. Under the AFL rules the club has five days to assess its appeal options.

The matter has had a significant impact on Lance and the club will continue to support him through this process.

We also recognise the impact the public nature of this matter has had, particularly on the LGBTQIA+ and First Nations communities.

As the matter remains ongoing, the club will not be making any further comments.
