Patrick Cripps has been suspended for two weeks for his collision on Brisbane’s Callum Ah Chee.
Ah Chee was left concussed by the bump and was subbed out of Brisbane’s eventual 33-point win shortly after.

Match Review Officer Michael Christian graded the incident as careless conduct, high impact and high contact.
SEN’s Sam Edmund signalled on Monday morning Carlton would challenge the likely ban.
However, the suspension is a big blow to the Blues’ finals hopes. Cripps will miss games against Melbourne and Collingwood, with the club likely needing to win one of those to play in September.
