This added up to a total of seven activation points, which relates to a Level Four offence, drawing 325 points and a three-match sanction. However, with his existing five-year good record, it reduced his penalty by 25 per cent to 243.75 points and a two-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 182.81 points and a one-match sanction.
McPhee accepts one-match suspension
Adam McPhee will plead guilty to a charge of striking St Kilda’s Robert Harvey in the first quarter of Saturday's match. He will miss Essendon’s Round 16 match against Carlton with the one-week suspension. The match review panel ruled the contact was reckless, high impact, in play and high contact.
