PORT Adelaide will not contest the suspensions handed down to star midfielders Dom Cassisi and Peter Burgoyne, meaning the duo will miss one and two games respectively.

Both Burgoyne and Cassisi had their penalties reduced by one week for entering the early guilty plea.

Burgoyne’s incident was actually assessed as less severe than Cassisi’s but Burgoyne had 93.75 ‘carryover points’ from a game last year which had to be added, while Cassisi received a reduction for a five-year unblemished record.

Cassisi will miss the Power’s clash with Hawthorn on Saturday at the MCG, while Burgoyne will miss the Hawks game and the following match against St Kilda at AAMI Stadium.

The match review panel’s findings released on Monday were as follows…

Domenic Cassisi, Port Adelaide, has been charged with a Level Four striking offence against Lynden Dunn, Melbourne, during the second quarter of the Round Three match between Port Adelaide and Melbourne, played at AAMI Stadium on Sunday April 12, 2009.

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), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of seven activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Four offence, drawing 325 demerit points and a three-match sanction. He has an existing five-year good record, which reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 243.75 points and a one-match sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 182.81 points and a one-match sanction.

Peter Burgoyne, Port Adelaide, has been charged with a Level Two kneeing offence against Aaron Davey, Melbourne, during the second quarter of the Round Three match between Port Adelaide and Melbourne, played at AAMI Stadium on Sunday April 12, 2009.

In summary, his carry-over points from within the last 12 months means that his two-game sanction cannot be reduced, even with an early plea.

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 93.75 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 318.75 points and a three-match sanction. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to 239.06 points and a two-match sanction.

Meanwhile Hawthorn could also be missing two key players that were part of the win over the Kangaroos on Sunday.

Campbell Brown is facing a two-game ban, while his fellow defender Grant Birchall has a broken thumb and is expected to miss three weeks.
