The 26-year old is contracted to the Roos, but is looking to join Goulburn Valley outfit Mansfield, where’s he’s living and working.

The Roos rejected his third clearance application last week.

Both clubs have written submissions to governing body AFL North East Border, with the pair then given a number of days to examine each other’s proposal and respond.

The parties won’t attend a hearing, rather than the Area Appeals Committee will decide the issue.

Both clubs have to outlay $250, which is non-refundable, although an extra $500 is refundable, if the committee decides it was worthy.

The losing side can take the matter further to AFL Victoria’s Appeals Board, but there’s a four-figure sum involved.

The Roos snapped a 38-game winless streak against Rovers last Saturday.
