Jackson Callow to miss four weeks after secondary hearing

UPDATED – Thursday July 17

Norwood’s Jackson Callow will serve a four-match suspension after his penalty was increased at an Appeals Hearing on Thursday night.

After initially receiving a three-match suspension from the SANFL Tribunal Panel – chaired by Ian White – on Tuesday night, SANFL appealed the decision on the grounds that it was ”manifestly inadequate.”

Appeals Commissioner, The Hon. Michael David, KC increased Callow’s penalty by one match which, at one third of the original penalty, he deemed to be a significant increase.

Callow will miss the Redlegs’ matches against Woodville-West Torrens, Adelaide, West Adelaide and North Adelaide before returning to face Port Adelaide in Round 19.

UPDATED – Tuesday July 15 

Norwood’s Jackson Callow has received a three-match penalty for engaging in rough conduct with Central District’s Oliver Shaw during the first quarter at X Convenience Oval on Saturday. 

Callow, who was referred directly to the SANFL Tribunal by the Match Review Panel, pleaded guilty to the charge.

It was graded by the Tribunal Panel as careless conduct, severe impact and high contact. The Panel – which was chaired by Ian White and included Angus Kurtze and Melanie Burton – then applied the base sanction of three matches to that classification.
