Best: Sydney: Nick Malceski, Brett Kirk, Barry Hall, Nick Davis, Adam Schneider.
Melbourne: Davey, Bruce, Petterd.
Umpires: Hayden Kennedy, Brett Rosebury, Matthew Nicholls.
Report:
Adam Goodes (Syd) was cited for intentionally charging Simon Godfrey (Mel) during Q4. With an unblemished record Goodes was offered a one-match suspension with an early plea. Sydney sought adjudication of the Tribunal. The Tribunal on Wednesday yielded to the plea to have the charge downgraded to striking, such process reducing the points allocation. Goodes pleaded guilty to striking to which he received a reprimand and 70.31 demerit points carried over. As the base points for the strike were 125 – they were 225 for charging – any offence worth more than 100 base points makes the player ineligible for the Brownlow Medal in this season.
