Boomer Harvey offered one-match ban by MRP

North Melbourne veteran Brent Harvey could miss Friday night’s AFL preliminary final against Sydney after being charged with rough conduct.

The match review panel has offered the midfielder a one-match ban for his clash with Geelong’s Joel Selwood in last Friday’s semi-final win at the MCG.

If Harvey fails to beat the charge, he will sit out the grand final qualifier against the Swans at ANZ Stadium because of his poor record.

Harvey was sanctioned for his high hit on Geelong captain Joel Selwood in last Friday night’s MCG semi-final, which the Kangaroos won by six points.

His previous poor record and resultant carry-over points meant the 36-year-old was unable to have the sanction cut to a reprimand with an early guilty plea.

Harvey only returned to action last week after serving a separate three-game ban.

He will now miss the Kangaroos’ first preliminary final in seven years unless he is able to have the charge overturned at the tribunal on Tuesday night.
