In summary, due to an existing poor record, his one-match sanction must remain at one match, even with an early plea.
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Richmond Football Club, 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 classification of a level two offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction.

An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 103.13 points and a one-match sanction.
