CibbuanoMotlop, Young escape suspension
February 23rd 2009 06:09
PORT ADELAIDE star Daniel Motlop and Hawthorn premiership wingman Clinton Young have both escaped with reprimands from the AFL match review panel.
Both were hit initially with just level one rough conduct charges, which equates to 125 points or a one match suspension but that can be reduced to 93.75 points and a reprimand if both players plead guilty.
Motlop's feet were off the ground when he made contact to the shoulder of Sydney youngster Jesse White during Sunday's NAB Cup clash at Manuka Oval but the panel only assessed the incident as negligent conduct meaning Motlop can play against Geelong in Saturday's NAB Cup quarter final if he accepts the charge.
Young appeared to take his eyes off the ball when he crashed into the back of Melbourne star Aaron Davey during the Hawks' thrilling first-round NAB Cup win at Aurora Stadium in Launceston on Saturday.
But the match review panel only viewed the clash as negligent conduct and low impact, which means Young can also escape with a reprimand and 93.75 points added to his future record.
In other tribunal news, the match-day report against Melbourne ruckman Paul Johnson for striking Hawthorn skipper Sam Mitchell was thrown out with the panel ruling contact in the incident was minimal.
