Fair enough. He's not going to be suspended even if he loses. Should never have been reported or cited by the MRP in the first place.

I almost want us to contest the Maric charge on principle, if you're not allowed to contest the footy any more god help us all.
Additionally, the defensive pressure in the forward line was nonexistant vs Freo - very unlike our usual game. It was bouncing inside 50 and rebouding straight back out.

The original offence is worth 125 points. He gets a 25% discount automatically for having a completely clean record over the last 5 years. This takes it down to 93.75. Pleading guilty would reduce it further, to 70.31 points.Doesn't he cop a one match ban if he loses the challenge? The reprimand is for a guilty plea I think.
I'd be very surprised if Ivan doesn't line up against the Power on the weekend, sure he was ordinary against Freo and nobody would know that more than Ivan himself, he's one of the few in our team that can be guaranteed to stand up to Brogan, Thomas and co's argy bargy and no doubt he'll see this as an opportunity to redeem himself. I'm tipping he will have a BIG game!!!
Adam McNicol: The jury has found the contact was negligent and high. Maric gets 93.75 points.
LOL 2 games for a deliberate elbow to the face...and nearly (93 odd pts) 1 game for diving in for the ball!
It won't matter where footy is played, no one will go if this continues!
What a complete and utter joke...
Dies anyone have any footage if the incident? I don't remember anything during the game.
