FREMANTLE v GWS GIANTS
- HAYDEN BALLANTYNE (Fre) charged with a Level Two striking offence – intentional, low impact, body contact – against TOMAS BUGG (GWS) in Q3. In light of his previous poor record and carry-over points an early guilty plea will pick-up a one-game suspension.
Other incidents assessed –
- SAM DUNELL (StK) for striking SAM WRIGHT (NM) – force used was below that to bring a report.
- TOM McDONALD (Mel) and BRAD HARTMAN (Gee) in Q4 – no high contact was made and contact was not unreasonable. No further action.
- TOM HICKEY (StK) and LACHLAN HANSEN (NM) in Q3. Both approached from opposite directions. The MRP judged Hickey had no reasonable alternative – no further action.
- ACOB BRENNAN (WCE) and LEWIS TAYLOR (Bri) in Q2. Brennan’s action was not a bumping action as he braced for contact – no further action.
- LACHIE HENDERSON (Car) and BEN McGLYNN (Syd) in Q1. Henderson’s action was not a striking action – force used was below that to bring a report.
