Geelong sought the adjudication of the Tribunal. On Tuesday, as AFL's
rules governing reportable offences do not specify whether contact
refers to that between offender and victim, or contact between the
victim and another object such as the ground, chairman David Jones
deliberated before
instructing the jury to use contact between the two players as the
relevant factor. This left the jury with no alternative other than to
downgrade the offence to a one-match suspension. As a 25 per cent points
reduction for his guilty plea, the one-game ban included a further 25
per cent reduction for Milburn's previous clean record.

of eight matches suspended within the last three years, increasing the
penalty by 50 per cent to 187.50 points and a one-match sanction. An
early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 140.63 points and a
