Conor McKenna is set to miss the ANZAC Day match against Collingwood after he was offered a one game suspension by the Match Review Panel.
Playing his first game of the season against Adelaide, McKenna collided with Crows opponent Riley Knight during the last quarter.
Here is the finding from the Match Review Panel:
Conor McKenna, Essendon, has been charged with making forceful contact from front-on against Riley Knight, Adelaide Crows, during the fourth quarter of the Round Four match between Essendon and the Adelaide Crows, played at Adelaide Oval on Saturday April 15, 2017.
In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.
Based on the available evidence and a medical report from the Adelaide Crows Football Club, the incident was assessed as careless conduct with medium impact to the head. The incident was classified as a two-match sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept a one-match sanction.
