Big question for the club now. Do they challenge, and risk two weeks (meaning he would miss the winnable WB game) or do they cop the week, knowing that they will likely lose the Geelong game anyway?
Big decision and it could have big implications for our season.
Ie; if we challenge and lose, does he get 2, or does he still get 1 anyway (regardless of early plea) so we may as well go for it?

If we challenge, that obviously means that we cop the extra 25% for not pleading guilty, but does it then take away the reduction due to his good record?MRC wrote: Andrew Welsh, Essendon, has been charged with bumping or making forceful contact from front-on against Brad Green, Melbourne, during the third quarter of the Round Thirteen match between Essendon and Melbourne, played at Telstra Dome on Friday June 29, 2007.
In summary, he can accept a reprimand and 70.31 points towards his future record with an early plea, due to an existing five-year good record.
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 a five-year good record, which reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 93.75 points and a reprimand. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 70.31 points and a reprimand.

If there's no footage, how is it that the MRP have laid a charge? Based on what?rama_fan wrote:He should get off
There's no video footage at all of the incident, Carroll will obviously support Lloyd and suggest the contact was minimal and that it was more just a push than a charge.
It's basically the Maggot's evidence against every other witness we will bring forward.
I reckon we'll be ok.
f***! Low impact - doesn't that already tell you something?.....
Absolute f****** disgrace. What else can you say?
I am fairly confident that on appeal he should get off.
Plenty of arguments, although I don't know how the process works.
1. After the siren
2. Jon Brown got off last year because of this
3. No footage, just maggots opinion
4. Carroll started the melee
5. Shitload of other worse incidents which players have gotten off during the year.

nar lloyd did start the melee. If the tribunal are consistant he'll get off. Often though with high profile cases they make an example of them.
A negative is Lloyd attacked Carroll originally when his back was turned. If thats the offence then I just keep returning to the Goodes report where he got off, it gives me a bit of hope. That was far more direct and harmful as well.

From the world's crappest website:
ESSENDON skipper Matthew Lloyd is set to miss the Bombers' Friday night clash with Geelong at Telstra Dome after the spearhead was offered a one-match suspension by the match review panel.
Lloyd was booked for charging Demons' defender Nathan Carroll last Friday night at the three-quarter-time siren, and can accept a one-match sanction with an early guilty plea. The incident was assessed as intentional conduct, low impact and body contact and amassed 225 demerit points.
Should the Bombers opt to challenge the charge at the tribunal and lose, Lloyd will still miss one week due to his five-year good record.
If Lloyd takes the early guilty plea, he will carry 26.56 demerit points for the next 12 months and will miss the Bombers' blockbuster with the ladder leaders on Friday night.
There was better news for Lloyd's teammate Andrew Welsh, who has escaped suspension and has been offered a reprimand and 70.31 points towards his future record for his front-on bump on Brad Green in the third term.

Bombers to contest Lloyd verdict
Monday, 2 July 2007
Essendon will contest a one-match penalty handed out to captain Matthew Lloyd in the wake of the Bombers’ narrow win over Melbourne last weekend. Lloyd was reported for charging Melbourne full back Nathan Carroll - it appeared innocuous but the umpire and match review panel thought differently.
The loss of Lloyd would be a bitter blow for the Bombers who take on ladder leaders Geelong at The Dome on Friday night. Reserved seating has already sold out for the match but some standing room tickets remain available.
Lloyd was reported for retaliating after Melbourne’s Nathan Carroll ran through him after a shot for goal missed on the three-quarter time siren. His bump on Carroll caused a brief melee prior to the team’s gathering for their three-quarter time address.
The AFL Match Review panel released the following statement:
“Matthew Lloyd, Essendon , has been charged with charging Nathan Carroll, Melbourne, at the three-quarter time siren of the Round 13 match between Essendon and Melbourne, played at Telstra Dome on Friday June 29, 2007.
In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea, due to an existing five-year good record.
The incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). 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. He has a five-year good record, which reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 126.56 points and a one-match sanction.”
Andrew Welsh was also charged, with the match review panel statement below:
"Andrew Welsh, Essendon ,has been charged with bumping or making forceful contact from front-on against Brad Green, Melbourne, during the third quarter of the Round Thirteen match between Essendon and Melbourne, played at Telstra Dome on Friday June 29, 2007.
In summary, he can accept a reprimand and 70.31 points towards his future record with an early plea, due to an existing five-year good record.
The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), low impact (o ne 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 a five-year good record, which reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 93 .75 points and a reprimand . An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 70.31 points and a reprimand."
