The Match Review Panel has released its findings from the weekend's finals
The AFL wishes to advise the Match Review Panel has reviewed the weekend's matches. The following charges were laid:
Charges laid:
Paul Chapman, Geelong, has been charged with a level two engaging-in-rough conduct offence (225 demerit points, two-match sanction), for engaging in rough conduct against Robbie Gray, Port Adelaide, during the third quarter of the second-semi final between the Cats and Port Adelaide, played at the MCG on Friday September 13, 2013.
In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.
Based on the video evidence available and medical report from the Port Adelaide Football Club, the incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a level two offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction.
Ted Richards, Sydney Swans, has been charged with a level one engaging in rough conduct offence (125 demerit points, one-match sanction), for engaging in rough conduct against Levi Casboult, Carlton, during the third quarter of the first semi-final between the Sydney Swans and Carlton, played at ANZ Stadium on Saturday September 14, 2013.
In summary, he can accept a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.
Based on the video evidence available and medical report from the Carlton 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 no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.
