This is a total of six activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Three offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has an existing bad record of seven matches suspended within the last three years, increasing the penalty by 50 per cent to 337.50 points and a three-match sanction. He has 76.34 points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 413.84 points and a four-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 310.38 points and a three-match sanction.

Umpires: Matt Stevic, Shane Stewart, Stuart Wenn.
Report:
Darren Milburn
(Gee) was charged with a Level Four offence for engaging in rough conduct against Shane Edwards (Rch) in Q3.
The incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), high impact (three points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of seven activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Four offence, drawing 425 demerit points and a four-match sanction. He has an existing five-year good record, which reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 318.75 points and a three-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 239.06 points and a two-match sanction.
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.

Report:
Luke Hodge
(Haw) was charged with a Level Two striking offence against Brett Deledio (Rch) in Q2. In light of his previous poor record and existing carry-over points in the past 12 months means a one-game suspension 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 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has an existing bad record of one match suspended within the last three years, increasing the penalty by 10 per cent to 137.50 demerit points. He also has 91 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 228.50 points and a two-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 171.38 points and a one-match sanction.
Hodge admitted guilt and accepted the MRP penalty.
