Fremantle: Sam Switkowski has been sent straight to the AFL Tribunal for a “serious misconduct” chicken wing tackle on Collingwood’s Jack Ginnivan.
After bringing Ginnivan to ground late in Sunday’s match , Switkowski grabbed his opponent’s wrist and pinned it behind the 19-year-old’s own back.
Switkowski continued to apply upward pressure on Ginnivan’s arm until the umpire blew the whistle for a ball up.
Although Ginnivan wasn’t hurt in the incident, the AFL Match Review Officer deemed the offence was “serious misconduct”, and Switkowski has been sent to the Tribunal.
I wondered why this hadn’t been mentioned in the MRO, I thought he was going to get away with it.
Sam Switkowski has been handed a two-match ban at the Tribunal.
Switkowski pleaded guilty to the charge and the Tribunal settled on a two-match ban.
Gleeson said if Switkowski had not pleaded guilty, the penalty would have been higher.
