Essendon defender Conor McKenna has been suspended for three matches by the AFL Tribunal for biting Western Bulldogs forward Tory Dickson.
McKenna pleaded guilty to the charge of serious misconduct at Tuesday night’s hearing at the AFL’s Etihad Stadium headquarters.
Jury members Wayne Henwood, Stewart Loewe and Michael Jamison deliberated for six minutes before arriving at the penalty that will see the 22-year-old miss matches against Port Adelaide, Collingwood and Melbourne.
