AFL Northern Territory (AFLNT) wishes to advise the Match Review Panel (MRP) has reviewed all matches played in Round 15 of the 2021/22 TIO NTFL season, and the following charges have been laid:
Men’s Premier League
Brodie Newman of Wanderers Football Club has been charged with rough conduct against #33 of Waratah Football Club in the third quarter of the TIO NTFL Men’s Premier League match between Waratah and Wanderers at Gardens Oval on Wednesday 26 January 2022.
Based on the evidence available, it was the view of the MRP that the incident should be classified as intentional conduct, medium impact and high contact, resulting in a three-match penalty.
In summary, Newman can accept a two-match penalty with an early guilty plea.
The club/players via the club's tribunal advocate have until 9:00pm tonight (Tuesday) to accept the early plea or lodge an appeal to have the matter heard by an independent Tribunal.
AFLNT will only issue a further update if the club/player chooses to challenge at Tribunal.
***UPDATE: Newman has opted to have the charge heard at the independent Tribunal.
