Geelong has accepted suspensions for James Podsiadly (2 weeks) and Josh Hunt (1 week) handed down by the match review panel.

Podsiadly was charged with a level two bumping or making forceful contact from front-on offence against Bryce Gibbs.

The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), medium impact (two points) 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 60 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 310 points and a three-match sanction. The early plea reduced the sanction by 25 per cent to 232.50 points and a two-match sanction.

Hunt was charged with a level two engaging in rough conduct offence against Jarrad Waite.

Hunt tackled Waite, who dropped the ball. Hunt’s action in tackling the Carlton player amazingly has led to the charge.

The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). 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. Hunt has no existing good or bad record. The early plea reduced the sanction by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction.
