AFL MRP offers Port ruckman one-match ban
Port Adelaide ruckman Paddy Ryder has been offered a one-match ban by the AFL match review panel for his off-the-ball hit on Adelaide's Riley Knight.
Ryder clashed with the Crows forward with just more than two minutes left in Saturday night's fiery local derby at Adelaide Oval, with Knight signalling to a trainer he had suffered a blow to the jaw.
The MRP charged Ryder with striking and classified the incident as intentional conduct with low impact to the head.
The Power will be without their lead ruckman for their clash with Greater Western Sydney in Canberra if they accept the sanction and risk a two-match ban if they take the case to the tribunal.
The Giants enjoyed better fortunes with their lead ruckman Shane Mumford, who was offered a $1000 fine for engaging in rough conduct with North Melbourne's Taylor Garner.
The Roos' Kayne Turner can also accept a fine for engaging in rough conduct with Ryan Griffen, with Adelaide's Charlie Cameron and Gold Coast midfielder Jarryd Lyons also able to accept fines.
