The mid/forward has been handed a one-match sanction for the incident, which involved Melbourne’s Jay Lockhart in the third quarter. 

Based on the available video evidence, the incident was classified as intentional conduct, low impact and high contact. 

Fremantle have until 9am (WST) on Tuesday 25 June to advise the AFL if they will contest the charge at the tribunal.
