Experienced campaigners Tom Murphy and Greg Broughton have been charged by the Match Review Panel following Gold Coast’s round 17 match against the Western Bulldogs at Cazaly’s Stadium.

28-year-old Murphy has been charged with a level two misconduct (kneeing) offence for kneeing Bulldogs forward Jake Stringer in the fourth quarter.

The AFL released its findings on Monday afternoon.

Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Western Bulldogs Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) 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 five-year good record, which reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 126.56 points and a one-match sanction.

In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

Broughton has also been charged with a First Offence for Wrestling ($1200 sanction) for wrestling Bulldogs player Nathan Hrovat during the second quarter of Saturday’s clash.

In summary, he can accept an $900 sanction with an early plea.

A first offence for wrestling is a $1200 sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to an $900 sanction.

The Gold Coast SUNS will have until 11am Tuesday to challenge or accept the Match Review Panel’s decisions.
