Richmond midfielder Jack Graham has been offered a one-match sanction by the AFL’s Match Review Panel for striking Brisbane’s Dayne Zorko in last Saturday’s Round 4 win.
Graham was reported during the third quarter of the match for the action against Zorko, with the Panel today ruling the incident as intentional conduct with low impact to the head.
The 20-year-old can accept a one-game ban with an early plea, which would rule him out of next Tuesday night’s Anzac Day eve blockbuster against Melbourne at the MCG.
Kamdyn McIntosh was also charged by the MRP with engaging in rough conduct against Lion Allen Christensen and can accept a $2000 sanction with an early plea and will be free to face Melbourne.
