Port Adelaide ruckman slapped with big ban for sling tackle

2021-05-11T18:34+10:00

Port Adelaide ruckman Scott Lycett has been slapped with a four-game ban for his dangerous tackle on Adelaide youngster Ned McHenry.

Match Review Officer Michael Christian judged the tackle in Saturday night's Showdown to be careless conduct, severe impact and high contact, opting to send the incident directly to the Tribunal.

McHenry immediately left the field after the incident, with the Crows confirming on Tuesday that he sustained concussion and will miss their upcoming game against West Coast as a result of the competition’s new protocols around head knocks.

As a result of the suspension, Lycett will now miss games against Western Bulldogs, Collingwood, Fremantle and Geelong.
