Cats veteran Ablett handed AFL suspension

Gary Ablett has copped a one-game AFL suspension for striking Gold Coast opponent Anthony Miles behind the play.

The 35-year-old had escaped suspension for much-debated high hits on Essendon’s Dylan Shiel and North Melbourne’s Sam Wright earlier this month.
