‘We stand by Lance’: Saints to appeal Collard suspension

St Kilda will appeal Lance Collard's nine-match suspension for allegedly using a homophobic slur during a VFL match in March. The AFL Disciplinary Tribunal handed down the ban this week, prompting the club to defend Collard, who maintains his innocence. An appeal hearing is expected next week as the AFL determines the schedule.
