Jake King, Richmond, has been charged with a level one striking offence against Justin Westhoff, Port Adelaide, during the fourth quarter of the round 22 match between Richmond and Port Adelaide, played at Etihad Stadium on Sunday August 29, 2010.
In summary, due to his previous poor record and carry-over points from within the last 12 months, he faces a one-game sanction, even with an early plea.
The incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification of a level one offence, drawing 80 demerit points and a reprimand. He has a total of three matches suspended within the last three years, increasing the penalty by 30 per cent to 104 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He also has 41.80 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 145.80 points and a one-match sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 109.35 points and a one-match sanction.
