'Too slow to call time-on': Were Port gifted 19 extra seconds in crucial final-term moment?
Midway through the last quarter, the umpire called time-on as Darcy Byrne-Jones was lining up for goal, inadvertently ensuring 19 extra seconds remained on…
Hawthorn’s James Sicily has been offered a one-game suspension for kicking while Essendon’s Mason Redman and Gold Coast’s Malcom Rosas also face one-match AFL bans.
Sicily has been cited for kicking Bomber Andrew McGrath in the Hawks’ 24-point loss on Saturday.
The Hawks’ captain, who was last year banned for three games for rough conduct, has been charged with kicking McGrath with intentional conduct, medium impact and body contact.
Essendon’s Redman has been charged with striking Hawk Jai Newcombe in an off-the-ball incident. The contact has been deemed as intentional, high contact with low impact.
The Suns’ Rosas has been cited for headbutting Adelaide’s Max Michalanenny in Gold’s Coast’s six-point win on Saturday night.
Rosas can accept a one-match suspension, with his contact ruled intentional and high, with low impact.
Six other players were charged and offered fines from Saturday’s fixtures.
With early pleas, Hawthorn’s Newcombe (forceful front-on contact, $3,750), Essendon’s Todd Goldstein (striking, $2,500), GWS’ Jack Buckley (tripping, $1,250), Giant Harry Perryman (striking, $1,875), Geelong’s Jhye Clark (dangerous tackle, $2,500) and the Sun’s Connor Budarick (melee, $1,250) can accept financial sanctions.
