Richard Douglas straight to tribunal (surprising here)
Scott Thompson (Roos) 1 match
Darren Glass 1 match
Ballantyne reprimand
Toby Greene 1 match
Adam Schneider 1 match

[RaisyDaisy]

Glass only gets 1 match?

Take it Glassy, just take it!

[jfitty]

With Thompson out that could open the door for Joel Tippett

[frenzy]

does'nt Balla get a week because he had two charges/reprimands

[frogjumper]

Douglas looks in a bit of trouble.

Didn't look anything in it from the camera behind Douglas. But the one from straight on looks pretty bad.
He will likely get 2 for it.

Video of the incident below. About 30 second in.

PAV will dominate

[Rusty00]

I'm confused why the Douglas incident was sent straight to the tribunal ??? Surely they just grade it like every other incident - negligent, high contact, medium/high impact, etc.

Great news for Pav >:D

Great news for Pav >:D

He would have dominated Thommo anyway ;)

does'nt Balla get a week because he had two charges/reprimands

Yes, I believe so. Two separate incidents for which he could accept reprimands but the remaining points are enough to see him miss a week.

[Capper]

Now im confused about Ballantyne, didnt he get charged with 2 offences of 93.75 each?

How can these be called demerit points as well??

Nothing about Hawkins punch on Langford??

[Toga]

The demerit points are the 93.75 "points" he is awarded for each incident tabsy.

[Ricochet]

Seriously don't understand how Fyfe gets 2 weeks... Then Merrett gets 2 for what he did, then Glassy gets offered 1 for putting Wingard in hospital...
