Golby, who extended his contract with the Club for a further two years, was charged with a Level Three striking offence on Monday following an incident involving St Kilda’s Tom Curran during the second quarter of last Saturday’s match at the Gabba.
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the St Kilda Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points).
This is a total of six activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Three Offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction.
However, Golby and the Lions decided to take an early guilty plea which reduced the penalty by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction.
