Paddy Ryder has been offered a two-match suspension by the Match Review Officer for his bump on Hawthorn defender Will Day.
The Saints ruckman chose to bump and caught Day high during a second quarter contest, the Hawks youngster substituted out of the clash at half-time with concussion.
MRO Michael Christian graded the incident as careless conduct, high impact and high contact.
The AFL’s concussion protocols will see Day miss the Easter Monday clash against Geelong, while Ryder is ruled out for games against Gold Coast and GWS.
St Kilda went on to record a 69-point win, Ryder contributing two goals and 10 disposals as his side moved into the top four on the AFL ladder.
Meanwhile, Melbourne forward Ben Brown was suspended for one week after a guilty plea for striking in a VFL clash, per AFL.com.au's Cal Twomey.
