HAWTHORN star Shaun Burgoyne can accept a two-match sanction for an incident involving Port Adelaide’s Tom Logan on Saturday.
Burgoyne has been cited by the Match Review Panel on Monday for rough conduct during the third quarter.
The incident was assessed by the MRP as negligent conduct (one point), high impact (three points) and high contact (two points) drawing a classification of a level three offence and 325 demerit points.
It is a three-match sanction that can be reduced to two games if he elects to take the early plea, reducing the points by 25 per cent to 243.75.
If Burgoyne elects to accept the ban, he’ll miss Saturday’s clash with Western Bulldogs as well as the Round 18 blockbuster against Essendon at Etihad Stadium the week following.
Midfielder Jordan Lewis is free to play against Western Bulldogs on Saturday if he elects to accept a reprimand for his strike on youngster, Chad Wingard.
The incident occurred in the opening minutes of Saturday’s win over the Power.
Lewis was charged with a level two striking offence and based on the video evidence available and a medical report provided by Port Adelaide, the MRP deemed it was intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point).
That is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a level two offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction.
An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.
Meanwhile, Port Adelaide’s Kane Cornes can accept a one-match ban for engaging in rough conduct against Sam Mitchell.
The Club has until 11am on Tuesday to decided whether to accept or challenge.
