The case was heard in front of Tribunal chair Jeff Gleeson and jurors Darren Gaspar and Scott Stevens, with Nick Pane representing the AFL, and Adrian Anderson representing Brisbane.<\/p>\n
The Lions pled guilty.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a young man who\u2019s made a serious mistake in the heat of the moment, after his opponent\u2019s grabbed his broken thumb,\u201d Anderson said.<\/p>\n
Gallop said he had never previously been charged with an offence during his junior or senior footy career. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe week prior against West Coast, I was chasing a player and went for a spoil, and tripped and got my thumb stuck in the dirt, and I fractured my thumb,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Gallop said he wore a thumb guard during the game, showing a photo where it was taped all the way down to his wrist.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter I laid a tackle, I saw advantage was paid and I\u2019ve gone to stand up, and Mitch has grabbed my thumb as I\u2019ve gone to stand up,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen as an act of retaliation I\u2019ve grabbed the back of his jersey and picked him up and pushed him back into the ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was an immediate reaction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t entirely sure but to grab my thumb the way he did, I believe it was intentional.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gallop said he felt a \u201csharp pain in his left thumb, and then he\u2019s held me down, and that\u2019s caused my reaction\u201d.<\/p>\n
He has since apologised to Georgiades on the phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cLooking back now, and watching the footage I understand the retaliation to what happened wasn\u2019t fair,\u201d Gallop said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve gone out of my way to push him down which I\u2019m sorry for and I do regret, and yes I\u2019d like to have that time over again … there\u2019s no room for it in footy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked by the AFL whether he knew what he was doing, Gallop conceded he did, repeating it was \u201cpurely retaliation\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brisbane\u2019s Ty Gallop has pled guilty to serious misconduct but defended his behaviour at the AFL Tribunal.
