AFL MEDIA RELEASE EXTRACT
The AFL wishes to advise the Match Review Panel has
reviewed the weekend's matches. The following charges were laid:
Steve Johnson, Geelong, has been charged with
a Level one engaging in rough conduct offence against Chris Newman,
Richmond, during the first quarter of the round Four match between
the Geelong Cats and Richmond, played at Simonds Stadium on Sunday
April 22, 2012.
In summary, due to his previous poor record, his one-match sanction
must remain at one game, even with an early plea.
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the
Richmond Football Club, the incident was assessed as negligent conduct
(one point), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point).
This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification
of a Level one offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match
sanction. He has an existing bad record of three matches suspended
within the last three years, increasing the penalty by 30 per cent
to 162.50 points and a one-match sanction. An early plea reduces the
penalty by 25 per cent to 121.88 points and a one-match sanction.
Steve Johnson, Geelong, has been charged with a Level one tripping
offence against Daniel Jackson, Richmond, during the fourth
quarter of the round Four match between the Geelong Cats and Richmond,
played at Simonds Stadium on Sunday April 22, 2012.
In summary, he can accept a reprimand and 78 points towards his future
record with an early plea.
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the
Richmond Football Club, the incident was assessed as reckless conduct
(two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point).
This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification
of a Level one offence, drawing 80 demerit points and a reprimand.
He has an existing bad record of three matches suspended within the
last three years, increasing the penalty by 30 per cent to 104 demerit
points and a one-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty
by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 78 demerit points towards his future
record.
As there are two cases involving Steve Johnson from the one game,
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FINAL PENALTY FOR JOHNSON, IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE
CASES, WILL BE THE TOTAL OF ALL DEMERIT POINTS FOR ALL OFFENCES. For
each 100 points, a one-match penalty must be served.
Trent West, Geelong, has been
charged with a Level one engaging in rough conduct offence against
Tv Vickery, Richmond, during the first quarter of the round
Four match between the Geelong Cats and Richmond, played at Simonds
Stadium on Sunday April 22, 2012,
In summary, due to a five-year good record, he can accept a reprimand
and 70.31 points towards his future record with an early plea.
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the
Richmond Football Club, the incident was assessed as negligent conduct
(one point), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points).
This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification
of a Level one offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match
sanction. He has an existing five-year good record, which reduces
the penalty by 25 per cent to 93.75 points towards his future record
and a reprimand. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent
to 70.30 demerit points towards his future record and a reprimand.
