LeCras set to miss AFL WA derby

Clever West Coast forward Mark LeCras is set to miss Sunday’s AFL table-topping WA derby against West Coast after being offered a one-match ban for striking Hawthorn defender James Frawley.

If LeCras chooses to contest the charge at the tribunal on Tuesday he risks having the sanction doubled to two weeks.

A rough conduct charge against Essendon’s Adam Cooney for a heavy hit on GWS midfielder Stephen Coniglio has been referred straight to the tribunal, meaning the Bombers midfielder cannot submit an early guilty plea.

Sydney defender Ted Richards can accept a $1000 fine for making forceful front-on contact with Geelong spearhead Tom Hawkins.

The match review panel ruled that Adelaide onballer Matt Crouch’s open-handed strike to the face of Richmond captain Trent Cotchin did not warrant a report.
