Jake King wins appeal, suspension reduced to one week

[one-eyed]

Kingy has been charged with a level 3 striking charge (on Travis Cloke). If he accepts with early plea he cops 2 weeks. If he challenges he risks 3 weeks.

I think the points system needs a revamp for special cases like this - points should be taken off your record for striking anyone from Collingwood

Tigers' Jake King cops two-game ban

EVIDENCE given by Travis Cloke was a key part of the AFL's decision to suspend Richmond's Jake King for striking the Magpie forward.

The AFL's Match Review Panel hit the feisty onballer with a two-game ban for a grade three striking offence during the fourth quarter of Friday's NAB Challenge match at Visy Park.

As there was no clear vision of the incident, the AFL said charge was laid after an investigation which included evidence from Cloke.

Due to his poor record, King cannot reduce the ban below two weeks with a guilty plea.

The suspension must be served in the home and away season, meaning he would miss the Round 1 clash with Carlton and second round game against the Western Bulldogs.

[Mr Magic]

Coburg will miss him.

[richmondrules]

Clokes a dog. Hope it hurt.

[Penelope]

Yeah, but if Jake King played for another club everyone here would hate him, Why? because he is a cheap sniping little thug.

LOL @MM

True but he doesn't so I'm all for him

What about the haymaker Chris Dawes threw at Mitch Farmer's face/shoulder area at Legends stand side third quarter. Poor Mitch had the trainer attend to him straight away and was proppy for the next few minutes.

Sure if you do the crime do the time no matter who it is but FFS how I've heard nothing on this astounds me. All Mitch tried to do is tackle him and Dawes was using his forearm to shoo Mitch away. Those around me both Pies and Tigs all gasped when seeing that.

Jake King could miss start of season
March 8, 2010 - 5:44PM

Richmond tagger Jake King could miss the start of the AFL season after being charged with striking Collingwood forward Travis Cloke during last Friday's practice game at Princes Park.

The league's match review panel investigated the incident and interviewed Cloke because the video footage was inconclusive, and charged King with a level-three strike.

King's poor record, which included a two-game suspension for striking Collingwood's Alan Didak in round 20 last year, meant his tally of demerit points ballooned to 309.06, enough for a three-game suspension.

King can plead guilty and reduce the penalty to two games, or challenge the charge at the tribunal, where he would risk being suspended for three games.

Any suspension must be served in the home-and-away season, which means the Tigers could be without King for premiership games against Carlton, the Western Bulldogs and possibly Sydney.

King was the only player reported in practice matches over the weekend, and no players were booked during the two pre-season semi-finals.

Richmond has until Tuesday morning to inform the league whether they will contest the charge at the tribunal.

King’s charge:

The incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). This is a total of six activation points, resulting in a classification of a level three offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has an existing bad record of two matches suspended within the last three years, increasing the penalty by 20 per cent to 250 points. He also has 39.06 points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 309.06 points and a three-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 231.80 points and a two-match sanction

EVen though the charge is rubbish if it's based on hearsay from Travis Cloke.

[torch]

i think the Cloke's v King's battle has just heated up!

what a DOG Cloke is!

and because Dawes plays for Collingwood, they are fine!

Farmer should complain to the AFL.

Richmond has asked the AFL for an extra 24 hours to discuss King's options with key personnel who were unavailable due to yesterday's public holiday.

How does 250 + 39.06 = 309.06???
Shouldn't it be 289.06?

None of the Cloke's are dogs. Dogs are renowned for their loyalty
