Freo has unsuccessfully argued that Nat Fyfe’s contact on Hawthorn’s Jordan Lewis was reckless, not intentional, meaning the midfield star will miss two games.

The club had attempted to downgrade the charge so that Fyfe would only miss the one game.

Fyfe told the Tribunal he intended to hit Lewis across the chest.

"I intended to stop his run and give me a chance to get goal side of him," he said.

Fyfe said, after he made contact to Lewis's shoulder, his arm slid up his shoulder and into his neck and got him high.

"I wanted to make contact to his chest plate and his arms."

Under questioning from AFL counsel Jeff Gleeson, Fyfe agreed he had swung his arm in an aggressive manner.

Gleeson submitted there was an intentional strike, and argued that was the only conclusion the jury could come to.

Fyfe’s counsel Nick Tweedie argued it had been established he intended to strike Lewis to the body and therefore he said it should be graded as intentional, low and body contact.

But the Tribunal disagreed and upheld the original charge, which means Fyfe will miss games against Brisbane and Port Adelaide and take 76.25 carryover points with him.
