Karl Amon, Port Adelaide has been charged with engaging in Rough Conduct against Gary Rohan, Geelong Cats, during the third quarter of the Round 14 match between Port Adelaide and the Geelong Cats, played at Adelaide Oval on Saturday June 22.

In summary he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Careless Conduct with Medium Impact and High Contact. The incident was classified as a one-match sanction.
 
The game on Saturday was described by the AFL scribe as a ‘fiery encounter’. What game was I at on Saturday night?
 
Amon wont be able to successfully appeal it as Rohan went off and stayed off for the rest of the game.

Howard we should appeal have to argue it was low not medium impact as Taylor didn't have any affect on him.

Can't see us contesting either and getting a win. Amon's was a accident, can live with that cause once Rohan got ruled out of the game Amon was done. As ridiculous as the rules around it are, there isn't a defence we can mount to get him off.

But Dougal's was the height of stupidity, regardless of the AFL letting other guys off, for Dougal to just turn around and belt Taylor in the chest wasn't his best move.

Both players stupidly committed offences on a prime time game.

If it's a Foxtel game, the MRO will say 'nothing to see here'. But the eyeballs of the nation are on our game, and that means punishment will be more severe.

Thank goodness we have good depth in the Magpies to fill the gaps and both players back for showdown.
Selection will be very interesting this week.
 
In all honesty, the Amon ruling is one of the more sensible that the mro has come up with. There would have been no surprise if he had thrown the book at him, ruled it intentional and made us challenge it. But to rule it as careless and medium is pretty reasonable and the 1 week is about right.

Ken to rush in Westhoff to cover Howard.
