Carlton forward Matthew Owies will miss his side’s elimination final against Brisbane after the AFL Tribunal upheld a one-match ban for a dangerous tackle on St Kilda’s Jack Higgins. The 27-year-old’s failure to overturn his suspension on Tuesday night is a major blow to the Blues, who will miss Owies’ talents in front of goal. His 33 goals this season were crucial in helping his side sneak into the finals in eighth place.
After the Tribunal returned its guilty verdict in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, O’Farrell argued Owies’ penalty should be reduced because of exceptional and compelling circumstances. Namely, he had an exemplary record and could attract players to AFL from basketball as a result of his background playing the game. The Tribunal retired to deliberate, again, before saying they were not satisfied that the circumstances were exceptional or compelling enough to overturn the ban.
