The AFL advised on Monday of the Match Review Panel's findings from the incident.
'Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from Sydney, the incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). 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 an existing bad record of 93.75 points carried over from within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 218.75 points and a two-match sanction.'
Firrito's early plea reduced the penalty by 25 per cent to 164.06 points and a one-match sanction.
