New Lion cops ban, AFL tribunal won't sit

The AFL tribunal won't sit on Tuesday after Brisbane recruit Jack Frost accepted a one-match ban and four other players accepted fines.

Frost, who crossed from Collingwood in the off-season, will miss the Lions' round-one clash against Gold Coast after accepting the ban for his crude tackle on the Suns' Brandon Matera.

The pair were chasing a loose ball out of bounds in the third quarter of Sunday's pre-season competition clash when Frost slung Matera to the turf, causing a brief melee.

The AFL's match review panel assessed the action as careless conduct with medium impact to the head, which attracts a two-match ban.

However, the 24-year-old defender will miss just one game after entering an early guilty plea.

Frost was the only player faced with a suspension, with Hawthorn pair Liam Shiels and Kade Stewart, North Melbourne's Jarrad Waite and West Coast's Will Schofield all accepting fines.
