Aloisi to fight three-match ban

There are questions over the fight shown by Melbourne Heart as their A-League season slipped away, but they'll fight to have coach John Aloisi available to start the next one.

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player.

The Heart are appealing a three-game suspension handed to the coach on Wednesday.

Aloisi's first season at the helm finished with him banished to the stands for abusing officials at halftime of his club's season-ending 2-1 loss to Central Coast Mariners on Saturday night.

The extra two games added to his mandatory one-match suspension by the match review panel heaped further pain to what has been a dismal last part of the season.

Finalists last season, the Heart were well in contention for a repeat appearance before fading badly to lose their last five games and finish second-bottom.

The Heart's appeal, against the extra two games of the ban, is expected to be heard next week.

If the ban stands, it will include any FFA-sanctioned pre-season matches the club play in the lead-up to next season.

That means even if he loses the appeal, Aloisi could still potentially serve the ban in full before the season starts, if the Heart can organise three pre-season friendlies.

Defender Patrick Gerhardt received only the mandatory one-match ban after he was sent off in the first half against the Mariners.
