Daniel Jackson, Richmond, has been charged with a level two engaging in rough conduct offence against Hayden Ballantyne, Fremantle, during the first quarter of the round 15 match between Richmond and Fremantle, played at Etihad Stadium on Saturday July 10, 2010.
In summary, his previous poor record means that his two-game penalty must remain at two matches, even with an early plea.
The incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), medium impact (two points) and body contact (one point). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has an existing bad record of three matches suspended within the last three years, increasing the penalty by 30 per cent to 292.50 points. He also has 30 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 322.50 points and a three-match sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 241.88 points and a two-match sanction.
