Suban has pleaded guilty to the charge. He admits to grabbing him on the cheek, but has no recollection. Has apologised to Sam Mitchell.

 

[electricfeel]

Jeez this is the quickest tribunal case ever. Pretty sure it's almost done.

JONES: "It would certainly seem to be at the low end for a case of misconduct"

[ImperialPurple]

One week

Nathan Schmook:
JONES "A reprimand would be inappropriate ... the player missing a week from the competition as a result would seem an appropriate penalty"

 

[yakka man]

One week

I think so. Jones has said that is the penalty he wants

 

[FreoGirl]

but one week could be two weeks with the double up?

 

[ImperialPurple]

but one week could be two weeks with the double up?

nah I think they just give the penalty they think it deserves and leave it at that.

Nathan Schmook:
Double points doesn't apply in this case, but the Grand Final is "a circumstance that you take into account" the jury is told by Jones. "It's not a case where it's an automatic doubling up".

[UFO Tatsu]

[FreoGirl]

not if double points don't apply?

 

[UFO Tatsu]

i wonder if they are going to put a new penalty in the table of offences for face massages ?!?

 

[ImperialPurple]

sounds like they are going to give him one ... so with our record, means 2-3 weeks ?!?

Yeah I was just thinking - everyone seems to be agreeing that one week is fair, so it looks like one week... until they remember they have to add in the special FPL (Freo Player Loading) and nek minnit he's out for 3.

 

[electricfeel]

Insufficient evidence against Crowley for pinching.

Nek minnit

Guilty

 

[ImperialPurple]

Nathan Schmook:
The jury considers 150 points to be the appropriate penalty.



So one week with 50 carry over points?

 

[doberman]

150 points. So missing one game. Not bad.

 

[yakka man]

Suban will miss round 1

 

[electricfeel]

150 points - 1 week and 50 carry over points.
