Hope Richards gets through, as he has been in superb form and I would back him to get the better of the Pav.
With all the Swans Injury concerns have the reserves had to tame their premiership celebrations as anyone could be called up to the next senior game or the game after that if they get through?
Is anybody aware of Ted's judiciary record? I can't recall any previous suspension, so he may be eligible for a 25% discount for a ?good record?. This combined with early guilty plea, may bring it under 1 week.
Players will now only qualify for the ?good record? discount ? that is, a 25% reduction in the total demerit points applicable to the Reportable Offence for which they are charged ? if they have maintained a history over the previous six years in which they have not missed a match through suspension.
Ted got a reprimand two or three seasons ago for striking. I thought it was a bit soft at the time - it was a late spoil that did make high contact but it did look to be a genuine attempt at a spoil. It was one of those ones where there was no point contesting, but it does mean he now doesn't have a clean record.
My guess is that it will come back low impact, negligent and he'll be free to play.

Good thing that the points expired otherwise he wouldn't be able to escape with a reprimand.Richards was reprimanded for striking last year but his 70.31 demerit points expired in round five this season.
Math's was never my strong point. Looks like we are hanging our hat on negligent then.
Out: Richards and Mitchell
In: LRT and Lamb
If Tippett is unable to play I'd bring in Morton
