Three MRO charges issued from Easter Monday with Hawk hit hardest

2023-04-11T17:40+10:00

The Match Review Officer has taken action from three incidents from Geelong’s win over Hawthorn on Easter Monday.

Hawks midfielder Will Day has been hit the hardest, copping a two-game ban for a dangerous tackle on Brad Close.

MRO Michael Christian assessed the incident as careless conduct, high impact and high contact.

He'll miss games against GWS and Adelaide should Hawthorn not challenge the decision.

Meanwhile, Gary Rohan was handed a one-match suspension for a similar tackle, with Christian finding the key difference was medium impact from the Geelong speedster.

Ruckman Lloyd Meek was offered a $3000 fine for his errant knee that forced Mark Blicavs from the ground after a ruck contest.
