North Melbourne forward Aaron Black can accept a reprimand for rough conduct against young Crow Rory Laird on Sunday.

Black made high contact to Laird with an errant forearm during the first quarter of Adelaide’s clash with the Kangaroos at AAMI Stadium.

The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). 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.

Black has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.
