CibbuanoWaters to contest two-match ban
June 3rd 2008 01:46
WEST COAST defender Beau Waters will contest a two-match ban after being charged with making head-high conduct against Collingwood's Shane O'Bree.
The incident from Saturday's match at the MCG was assessed as negligent, of medium impact and high by the match review panel. Waters has nothing to lose by challenging his ban which will stay at two matches even if he is unsuccessful at the tribunal on Tuesday night
Waters will be the only player to front the AFL Tribunal after classy Western Bulldogs forward Robert Murphy accepted a one-match suspension for engaging in rough conduct against Hawthorn's Xavier Ellis.
The incident was assessed as negligent conduct, medium impact and high contact equating to 225 points and a two-match ban, but was reduced to one-week with an early guilty plea.
Adelaide forward Brett Burton had already accepted a two-game ban for making forceful front-on contact against Essendon's Henry Slattery.
