Brisbane defender Ty Gallop has been suspended for three games for a serious misconduct act he admits is a “very bad look”.<\/p>\n

Gallop pleaded guilty at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night for what he described as retaliation on Mitch Georgiades after the Port Adelaide forward grabbed his broken thumb.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old had tackled Georgiades to the ground during Sunday’s clash in Brisbane and, after the ball left the area, shoved the Port attacker face-first into the turf.<\/p>\n

Gallop played the match with strapping on a broken right thumb.<\/p>\n

“Mitch has grabbed my thumb as I have gone to stand up,” Gallop said, adding Georgiades’ action was intentional.<\/p>\n

But Gallop expressed remorse for retaliating, saying he had phoned Georgiades to apologise.<\/p>\n

“Looking back now and watching the footage, I understand that the retaliation to what happened wasn’t fair,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I have gone out of my way to push him down, which I am sorry for and I do regret. I’d like to have that time over again.<\/p>\n

“It’s a very bad look and there’s no room for it in footy.”<\/p>\n

Gallop said his retaliation was an “immediate reaction”.<\/p>\n

“I have grabbed the back of his jersey and pushed him back into the ground,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I think I play a hard brand of footy but I play a very fair brand of footy as well \u2026 it was purely out of retaliation.”<\/p>\n

Under questioning from the AFL’s counsel Nick Pane, Gallop agreed his act was totally unreasonable and unacceptable.<\/p>\n

Pane asked the tribunal for a three-game suspension.<\/p>\n

“Georgiades’ head made forceful contact with the ground,” Pane said. “The action had significant potential to cause serious injury.”<\/p>\n

The Port spearhead wasn’t hurt in the incident.<\/p>\n

Gallop’s counsel Adrian Anderson said the 23-gamer had “lashed out” but argued for a two-match ban.<\/p>\n

“There is a context here,” Anderson said.<\/p>\n

“It’s different where someone has a broken thumb and it’s grabbed and they react in the heat of the moment.”<\/p>\n

After hearing just over one hour of evidence, tribunal chairman Jeff Gleeson KC and members Darren Gaspar and Scott Stevens returned a verdict some 50 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Gleeson said the tribunal gave no weight in its deliberations to Gallop’s thumb being grabbed before his misconduct.<\/p>\n

“The vision of the serious misconduct is startling in the degree to which it is unsportsmanlike,” he said.<\/p>\n

Gallop is the sixth AFL player suspended on a serious misconduct charge and the second this season, following North Melbourne ruckman Tristan Xerri’s three-game ban for wiping blood onto the face of Essendon captain Andrew McGrath in a match in March.<\/p>\n

Gallop will now miss Brisbane’s games against Carlton, Hawthorn and Gold Coast, and will not be available until the round 24 games against Collingwood at the MCG.<\/p>\n
