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. :rolleyes:

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.
