Umpires: Hayden Kennedy, Heath Ryan, Matthew Nicholls.
Report:
Daniel Pratt
(NM) was charged with a level-two misconduct charge in that he made unreasonable-unnecessary contact to the face of Brett Ebert (PA) in Q3. In summary, his previous poor record and his carry-over points from within the last 12 months means that his two-game sanction cannot be reduced, even with an early plea.
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 an existing poor record of one match suspended within the last three years, increasing the penalty by 10 per cent to 247.50 points. He also has 68.75 points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 316.25 points and a three-match sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 237.19 points and a two-match sanction. North Melbourne sought the adjudication of the Tribunal.
The Tribunal heard the evidence on Tuesday night and after deliberation found Pratt not guilty of the charge.

(Mel) reported by field umpire Scott McLaren for striking Brent Harvey (NM) (twice) in Q3.

However the Melbourne run-with player, who had no prior record, had the 125 demerit points reduced by 25 per cent and accepted the 93.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.
