Geelong forward Tom Hawkins has copped a one-game AFL ban after pleading guilty to making intentional contact with an umpire.

Hawkins made contact with the arm of field umpire Dean Margetts in Geelong’s big win over Greater Western Sydney.

The case was sent straight to the tribunal by match review officer Michael Christian and the three-member panel on Tuesday night took just three minutes to agree upon a one-game suspension.
