AFL - Kerr Front on Bump on Bruce

AFL Round 8 - West Coast V Melbourne Daniel Kerr, West Coast, has been charged with bumping or making forceful contact from front-on against Cameron Bruce, Melbourne, during the first quarter of the round eight match between West Coast and Melbourne, played at Subiaco on Sunday May 20, 2007. In summary, his previous poor record means his sanction must remain at two matches. The incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 250 demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has an existing poor record of one match suspended within the last three years, increasing his sanction by 10 per cent and he also has 35.93 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing his penalty to 310.93 points and a three-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 233.20 points and a two-match sanction. Kerr pleaded guilty and accepted a two-game sanction.
