Matt White, Richmond, has been charged with a Level One tripping offence against Craig Bird, Sydney Swans, during the third quarter of the Round 12 match between Richmond and the Sydney Swans, played at the SCG on Sunday June 12, 2011.
 
In summary, due to a five-year good record, he can accept a reprimand and 45 points towards his future record with an early plea.
 
Based on the video evidence available, 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 an existing five-year good record, reducing the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 60 points towards his future record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 45 points towards his future record.

Bit of extra salt in the wound after they let a blatant horse kick trip of one of our players slide a few weeks ago.  Ump let it go too of course.

I must admit I saw it and went 'urrghh' Matty what was that.

Probably fair you can't trip someone, wish they'd be consistent pretty sure Fletcher trips someone every week.
