THREE New Norfolk footballers will have a longer wait for the start of the 2012 season after being suspended for striking offences in last week's grand final loss to Kingborough. Appearing at the football tribunal on Tuesday night were William Leitch Medallist Nathan Ross and fellow senior players Kurt Styles and Josh Kelly. The penalties will be served at the start of next season.
Ross received the heaviest penalty of six weeks, with two of those weeks suspended. Styles received three weeks with another week suspended, while Kelly's penalty was a one-week suspension with another week suspended.
