Matt Maguire's in-you-face tactics against Geelong last Saturday went a little bit too far, according to the AFL's Match Review Panel. 

Maguire has been charged with a Level Two Striking Offence (125 demerit points, one-match sanction) for striking Geelong star Steve Johnson during the third quarter of the Lions' clash with the Cats at Simonds Stadium.  

In summary, he can accept a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.

Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Geelong Cats Football Club, 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 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. 

With no existing good or bad record, he took an early guilty plea which reduced the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.
