No Redpath this week as his suspension has been extended... Shouldn’t have played in the VFL practice match last week.

What a *!*!*!*! up!

Part of me wonders how the hell that can be so given it was a practice game - but a bigger part of me wants to know how THE CLUB was unclear on this.

No, that incident cost him a 2 game holiday... Our ineptitude cost him the extra week off.

What an absolute load of crap. A practice match ffs. The AEFL have it in for us I'm sure. Robbie Gray got suspended in the JLT 1 and still played JLT 2 but couldn't play round 1. The AEFL are a bunch of ......... (You fill in the blank using these letters UNTSC)

Or the AFL admin for confusing us:

Misses the last 2 x AFL matches, plus 2 VFL finals he was eligible for. He is then allowed to play AFLX and plays a VFL practice match. Now he misses a 6th match

Who's running the show down there? It's like a circus atm. It's still bullshit though.

I am warning everyone now, Steve Hocking is the worst Operations Manager since Ian Collins. He has no idea about how to run the AFL Operationally, and all he wants to do is form committees to work out how to change the game.

Bookmark it he is *!*!*!*!ing up this great game of ours.

This has now become a 4 match suspension. What an absolute crock. The rule highlighted below states he can play. The AFL are making the rules up as they go. I don't think this is really the clubs fault, it was reasonable to assume he could play.

Red-faced: Dog's ban confusion keeps him out

THE AFL has ruled Jack Redpath can't play at AFL or VFL level this weekend, after a controversial ruling over his three-week suspension.

Redpath was suspended for three games after round 21 last season, which on the surface would have rendered him unavailable for round one only.

However, AFL general counsel Andrew Dillon has ruled that because he played in a VFL practice game last weekend, "his suspension was not completed as required".

"AFL general counsel Andrew Dillon said the club would not face any further sanction beyond Redpath’s ineligibility for this weekend, as the club co-operated fully with the AFL’s enquiries in this matter and it was determined the breach was inadvertent with the club having the belief he could play in a practice match, that was not for premiership points, at state league level," read a League statement late Thursday afternoon.

Redpath copped the three-match ban after striking Phil Davis in the round 21 encounter with Greater Western Sydney.

AFL.com.au understands the Bulldogs had no concerns about Redpath playing in the VFL practice game.

Redpath kicked two goals for Footscray in the VFL-level hit-out against Geelong.

AFL regulation 16.3 states there's an exception for a club practice match.

"A person who is suspended or disqualified may participate in any Pre-Season Competition Match or Club Practice Match unless otherwise directed by the Commission or the body that has imposed the suspension or disqualification," the regulation reads as of March 2017.

It's not certain if Redpath would have been selected at senior level for the round two clash with West Coast, but he had been in the mix.

The club has been contacted for comment.

That's it, I'm triggered.

Imagine Redpath took a similar dive after the GWS player elbowed him in the ribs from behind.

Re: Match Committee - Round 2, 2018 vs West Coast Eagles

3 Matches? Rubbish he was suspended for one match plus one for challenging.

*!*!*!*! this just play him, and go to court with this one too.
