    Cross reported?

    Heard on SEN that Cross might have been reported for making contact with an umpire. Said it was just a fine if he accepted the report.

    Yeah, I head that also, I had no idea he was reported. He has made the afl coffers $2400.00 richer.

    Any news yet if Cross managed to get his fine overturned?

    Why the upgrade? Anyone recall the incident?

    Can't recall the incident. Upgrade for the failed appeal.

    Yes, he was offered a reasonable deal and knew the risk if he challenged it and failed.

    At least he tried to get it overturned. I still don't know at what stage of the game it happened.

    Haven't seen the incident so can't comment on what chance he had, but he may thought he had a chance and was concerned that it would go on his record, boosting future penalties.

    I think that is an logical explanation. The increase in fine from a club and a players perspective is not a big concern. Given Cross' otherwise immaculate record the 'points' shouldn't be too much of a concern.

    Or might not have wanted a reputation as a player who assaults umpires.
