CibbuanoMaxwell to fight charge
February 10th 2009 01:47
COLLINGWOOD skipper Nick Maxwell will appear at the AFL Tribunal next week after deciding to contest his rough conduct charge against West Coast youngster Patrick McGinnity.
Maxwell's bump, which left McGinnity with a broken jaw, was ruled by the match review panel as negligent conduct, high impact and high contact, which equates to 325 points.
But that was increased to 440.31 points because of a prior indiscretion within the past year and even with an early guilty plea he was looking at three games on the sidelines.
Maxwell's hearing has been delayed until next week because the Magpies will be conducting their pre-season community camp this week on the Mornington Peninsula and don't play their NAB Cup quarter-final until the weekend of February 27-March 1.
Meanwhile, Carlton defender Setanta O'hAilpin has accepted a four-game suspension following his attack on teammate Cameron Cloke in last Friday's intra-club match.
In some good news for O'hAilpin, the ban can at least be partially served during the NAB Cup, depending on how far the Blues go.
