Nathan Lovett-Murray will plead guilty to a charge of striking Fremantle’s Matthew Carr and will miss the next three games. Lovett-Murray struck Carr in the first quarter of last weekend’s game and was reported by two umpires. The match review panel ruled the contact was intentional, medium impact, behind the play and high.

This added up to a total of eight activation points making it a level five offence which equates to 425 points and a four-match suspension. However Lovett-Murray had 93.75 residual points which increased his penalty to 518.75 points and a five-match suspension. An early plea reduces his penalty by 25% and 389.06 points which equates to a three-match suspension.
