CibbuanoSelwood to contest, Goodes will play
June 10th 2008 02:33
THE AFL Tribunal will be in operation tonight after West Coast's Adam Selwood chose to contest a striking charge laid against him.
Selwood has been 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.
Selwood has a existing five-year good record, which reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 93.75 points and a reprimand. He does not risk a suspension by challenging the charge
In other tribunal news, Brisbane's Troy Selwood has accepted a $900 sanction for wrestling Fremantle's Heath Black.
North Melbourne defender Michael Firrito and Geelong small forward Paul Chapman have also accepted $900 fines for wrestling each other.
Sydney star Adam Goodes is free to play against St Kilda at the SCG on Saturday night after accepting a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record for his high bump on Adam Selwood.
However, the Swans star is now out of the running for this year's Brownlow medal because the initial charge drew more than 100 demerit points.
Western Bulldogs ruckman Ben Hudson has accepted a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record for striking St Kilda midfielder Leigh Montagna.
