'Common sense has prevailed' - Ebony Marinoff's ban for Brid Stack tackle overturned on appeal

Brid Stack of the Giants is attended to by medical staff during the AFLW pre-season match between the Adelaide Crows and the GWS Giants at Norwood Oval  

Adelaide Crows boss AFLW Phil Harper has welcomed the AFL Appeals Board decision to quash the suspension handed to Crows star Ebony Marinoff for the tackle which left Brid Stack with fractured vertebrae.

Harper argues 'common sense has prevailed' after Marinoff was found 'not guilty of the charge of forceful front-on contact'. However, he reiterated that player and club ' feel for Brid Stack in this situation and wish her all the best'.
