Claremont will use recent examples of suspended WAFL players Llane Spaanderman and Anthony Morabito to support their case for Beau Wilkes being allowed to play against Subiaco in the round 10 match.
The West Coast defender was suspended for 2 weeks for kneeing Perth opponent Ash Thornton. Claremont have applied that the State and West Coast games should be counted as part off his suspension. The Commission has previously ruled that Peel youngster Morabito’s AIS Scholarship game could be counted as one game.
