Richmond midfielder Lachie Neale is ruled to miss the grand final after his bid to overturn a suspension fails.
The reports agree that Neale had sought to have the grand final ban rescinded through the available appeals process. All three outlets describe the outcome as a failure to overturn the ban, meaning he will not take part in the match.
While the articles focus on the same decision, they differ only in emphasis typical of local reporting, using the same core facts: Neale attempted to reverse the sanction, the bid does not succeed, and the result is that he will be absent from the grand final.
