WEST COAST defender Adam Selwood has failed in his bid to have his penalty reduced at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night.
Selwood was charged with a Level Two striking offence against Sydney’s Amon Buchanan during Saturday night's heartbreaking five-point loss at Subiaco Oval.
The incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a Level Two offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match ban.
Because of his five-year good record, Selwood was offered a reprimand and 93.75 points.
Selwood argued that his swing made no contact with Buchanan, but the tribunal saw it differently. Suspension was never at risk and he is available to play against Essendon at Telstra Dome on Friday night.
