DEFENDER Luke Tapscott has been charged with a level one engaging in rough conduct offence against West Coast’s Mark Nicoski, following last Thursday’s loss at Patersons Stadium.

Tapscott can accept a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.

Based on video evidence available and a medical report from West Coast, the match review panel said the incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point).

This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a level one classification offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction.

Tapscott has no existing good or bad record.

Therefore an early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.
