Half a Pint


A new statement from Football Australia about the Western United situation.

Pretty confusing but I think the Appeals body has said to the board that stripped the licence to go back and gather additional documents?

I’m no expert, but the phrase “consider additional documents” suggests Western’s lawyers successfully argued that the First Instance Body didn’t take into account all the evidence it should have.

The Appeals Body isn’t expressing any opinion on whether the extra documents will change anything (beyond “they’re worth a look”), so for all we know this could just be prolonging the inevitable.
