Jetta was offered a one-match sanction with an early plea by the match review panel after he was charged with a level two bump or making forceful contact from front-on against North Melbourne’s Lindsay Thomas.
The incident occurred during the first term of Saturday’s loss at Etihad Stadium.
It was just Jetta’s second match this season, after his first half of the year was ruined by an ankle injury.
Match review panel finding:
Neville Jetta, Melbourne, has been charged with a Level Two bumping or making forceful contact from front-on offence against Lindsay Thomas, North Melbourne, during the first quarter of the Round 18 match between Melbourne and North Melbourne, played at Etihad Stadium on Saturday July 28, 2012.
In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the North Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 250demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 187.50 points and a one-match sanction.
