David Hille has accepted a reprimand by the Match Review Panel after being charged for engaging in rough conduct against Carlton's Mitch Robinson on Friday night.
In summary, Hille was offered a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.
The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level One offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduced the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.
The match day report laid against Essendon’s Sam Lonergan for engaging in rough conduct against Carlton’s Robert Warnock was also assessed. The panel said contact was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.
Essendon assistant coaches Scott Camporeale and Ashley Prescott today advised the Club that they would step down from their positions at the end of the 2010 season. The pair plan to relocate to South Australia and Western Australia respectively, for family reasons. Camporeale has spent three years as an assistant coach at Essendon following a successful AFL career in which he played 233 games with Carlton and Essendon. Camporeale was part of Carlton’s 1995 Premiership side and named All-Australian in 2000.
