CibbuanoMooney accepts ban
May 19th 2009 03:29
GEELONG forward Cameron Mooney will miss Friday night's clash against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium after accepting a one-match ban for striking North Melbourne defender Scott Thompson.
The panel viewed the incident as reckless conduct, low impact and high contact, which equates to 125 demerit points and a one-match suspension.
If Mooney had a clean record he could have accepted the charge and received the 25 percent points discount which would then have allowed him to escape with a reprimand but because of his previous suspensions his tally rose to 175 points.
The 25 per cent discount for pleading guilty today still left Mooney with 131.25 points, still well above the 100 point cut-off for a one match ban.
Meanwhile, Melbourne's Lynden Dunn, Bulldog Adam Cooney, Sydney's Martin Mattner and Carlton's Eddie Betts have all accepted $1950 fine for making negligent contact with an umpire contact while Port utility Chad Cornes and Richmond's Daniel Jackson both accepted $950 fines for wrestling with each other.
