Western Bulldogs midfielder Will Hayes has accepted a one-match sanction from the AFL Match Review Officer (MRO), for an incident in Saturday’s Marsh Community Series match in Whyalla.
The 24-year-old was charged with engaging in rough conduct against Port Adelaide’s Dan Houston during the first quarter.
His tackle was assessed by the MRO as careless conduct with medium impact and high contact.
The early plea will see him miss the Bulldogs’ 2020 season-opener against Collingwood in a fortnight’s time, on March 20 at Marvel Stadium.
