CibbuanoSwans may not accept reprimand

SYDNEY hasn't ruled out challenging the reprimand handed to star midfielder Adam Goodes for making light head-high contact with West Coast's Adam Selwood in the first-quarter of Sydney's thrilling five point win over the Eagles at Subiaco Oval on Saturday night.
The match review panel assessed the incident as negligent conduct, low impact and high contact, which equates to 125 demerit points and a one-match ban. He has no existing good or bad record so an early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.
If the Swans opt to contest at the AFL tribunal on Tuesday, they could have his 93.75 carry-over points erased and keep him in the running for a third Brownlow medal.
But they would also risk having Goodes rubbed out for the Swans crucial clash against St Kilda at the SCG on Saturday night.
