Perhaps we can get one of the Melbourne players to help out by demonstrating to the judiciary what a real chicken wing looks like...

[The fact he is not contesting the charge but the grading only means that by accepting the guilty plea he will miss only one game regardless of the result tomorrow night. If is downgraded to a Grade 1 he can play but will still have a loading of 75 points meaning he has to be very careful going into the final 5 rounds. Nevertheless we need him to play on Saturday as this result could go along way in deciding our fate in the top 8.

If he gets the downgrade the charge will be grade 1 dangerous contact carrying 100 points BUT because he's taking the early guilty plea his points will be reduced to 75 for a grade 1...allowing him to play this weekend.
If it doesn't get downgraded he'll miss 1 I believe because he's already taken the early guilty plea.
Worst case 1 week, best case free to play with 75 carryover points.
It's damned confusing but I hope I hope I've explained it clear enough?
This is just my interpretation so don't take it as gospel until confirmed by others.
