Two of Hawthorn’s prime-movers were offered suspensions and Port Adelaide’s Zak Butters copped another whack in the hip-pocket in the AFL match review officer findings from Saturday’s three-point thriller at Marvel Stadium.
Skipper James Sicily and craft goalsneak Dylan Moore were the two Hawks given one-game bans, both for striking Port’s Logan Evans in the third quarter.
If they choose not to challenge those bans at a tribunal hearing, they will miss the Hawks round-seven clash with Gold Coast.
Butters – Port’s acting captain – was offered a $1000 fine for striking Hawthorn’s Sam Butler in the same quarter of the same game. He’s already booked in for a separate appeal hearing on Monday as he fights against a $1500 fine imposed on him by the AFL a week earlier.
MATCH REVIEW: Three players banned, Butters cited again
KEY HAWTHORN pair James Sicily and Dylan Moore have both copped one-match bans for striking, while Gold Coast defender John Noble will also miss the Anzac Day clash between the two sides on Saturday after he was charged with rough conduct.
Port Adelaide star Zak Butters, meanwhile, has been sanctioned for the 23rd time in his career, fined for striking to take his career fines tally to $52,625 (with an early plea) as he awaits Monday night's Appeals Board hearing into the finding of umpire abuse against him from last week's game.
Sicily and Moore were both cited for striking Port Adelaide's Logan Evans off the ball during Saturday evening's nail-biting win at Marvel Stadium.

Hawthorn stars James Sicily and Dylan Moore have been suspended for respective gut punches on Port Adelaide's Logan Evans, ruling the key pair out of facing Gold Coast.
Suns defender John Noble is also set to miss that game in Launceston on Anzac Day after copping his own one-match ban for a high hit on Essendon's Tom Edwards.
The AFL has cracked down on off-the-ball hits to the body this season and co-captain Sicily and gun forward Moore always looked in trouble after each giving away free kicks for striking Evans behind play in separate third-quarter incidents.
