Adelaide defender Mitch Hinge given one game ban for high hit on Fremantle's Andrew Brayshaw
Adelaide defender Mitch Hinge has been handed a one-game ban for his 'uppercut' on Fremantle's Andrew Brayshaw in their Anzac Day clash. Hinge collected Brayshaw with his fist during the second quarter of the game, though fortunately for Hinge, Brayshaw was unaffected and was able to play out the game to win the inaugural Arthur Leggett Medal in a dominant display. However, Hinge will not escape punishment with the match review officer grading the incident as intentional, low impact and high contact. After the game, Channel 7 AFL reporter Ryan Daniels called it 'interesting', while AFL legend Nick Riewoldt described the hit as an 'uppercut'. 'This one's from early in the game (on Friday). It was Mitch Hinge on Andy Brayshaw. So it happened right in front of us, actually, on the boundary. So this is the incident right here,' Daniels said as he ran the Channel 7 vision of the moment. 'As you can see, a little jab there. Brayshaw got a free kick, which was taken in the pocket, had a shot for goal and missed, but that's an interesting one. 'The MRO will definitely have a look at that. 'I don't think it's severe impact. He played on, obviously, so he doesn't have that to worry about, but it is a high one.' Riewoldt didn't like the look of it and predicted a sanction would be the right outcome. 'It's a strike, it's a left uppercut,' Riewoldt said. 'So he, he gets a week (suspension) or he gets a fine.' Josh Worrell was also cited for a dangerous tackle on forward Michael Frederick but was graded as careless with the Crows' star offered a $2000 with an early guilty plea.

Crows midfielder delivers ‘uppercut' to Fremantle's Andrew Brayshaw
Adelaide Crows midfielder may come under scrutiny from the AFL's Match Review Officer after appearing to punch a Fremantle player on Friday night. The incident unfolded in the second quarter of the contest with Mitch Hinge striking Andrew Brayshaw. Brayshaw received a free kick for the high shot and after the game questions were raised if Hinge may have a case to answer for. 'This one's from early in the game. It was Mitch Hinge on Andy Brayshaw. So it happened right in front of us, actually, on the boundary. So this is the incident right here,' Daniels said post-game on Channel 7. Watch the eyebrow raising moment in the video player above 'As you can see, a little jab there. Brayshaw got a free kick, which was taken in the pocket, had a shot for goal and missed, but that's an interesting one. 'The MRO will definitely have a look at that. 'I don't think it's severe impact. He played on, obviously, so he doesn't have that to worry about, but it is a high one.' AFL great Nick Riewoldt wasn't a fan of the optics and believes Hinge could be set to receive a suspension. 'It's a strike, it's a left uppercut,' Riewoldt added. 'So he, he gets a week (suspension) or he gets a fine.' Daniel however said the incident is most likely to result in only a fine due to the lack of impact. 'I don't think there was too much malice in it,' he said. 'He gave away the free kick and, as I said, it wasn't severe. He played on, Brayshaw, and he won the medal (for best on ground), so couldn't have been too bad.' The impact on the hit didn't affect Brayshaw who led the way for the Dockers, finishing with a game-high 37 disposals which included six clearances and 522 metres gained. His display saw him claim the inaugural Arthur Leggett Medal for best afield during the Anzac Day clash. 'I'm very honoured,' he said during the post-game ceremony. 'We spoke to someone from the Hall family and they told us the story of going to the First World War, and the feathers we're wearing tonight in remembrance of that. 'To be able to play on actual Anzac Day is an absolute privilege, and the Leggett and Hall families lost someone and there are so many people and families that have been affected by war. 'So, for us to be able to represent them in a small way and try and play with some courage, a bit of attitude, I'm just very grateful.'

Brayshaw, Serong star as Dockers beat Crows in Perth
Andrew Brayshaw and Caleb Serong have put on a midfield masterclass to lead Fremantle to an 18-point Anzac Day victory over Adelaide at Optus Stadium. Brayshaw racked up 37 disposals, six clearances and 522m gained while Serong tallied 32 possessions and 10 clearances in Friday night's match as Fremantle posted a 12.13 (85) to 9.13 (67) win. A bumper crowd of 53,048 turned up for Fremantle's annual Len Hall Tribute Game, with Brayshaw winning the inaugural Arthur Leggett Medal as best afield. Dockers coach Justin Longmuir questioned his team's toughness in the wake of last week's shock 10-point loss to Melbourne. But there was no doubting Fremantle's intent against the Crows, with players regularly putting themselves in harm's way for the good of the team. Adelaide kicked 4.5 to 0.5 in the last quarter to add respectability to the scoreboard, but it was Fremantle who were the deserved winners. The result improved the Dockers' record to 4-3. Adelaide are also 4-3, but have now lost three of their past four matches. Crows forward Riley Thilthorpe managed to kick three goals despite suffering a major injury scare in the third quarter. Thilthorpe headed to the rooms in pain after damaging an already-strapped finger on his left hand while attempting a mark.
