Demons forward banned again, Pickett fined
Melbourne key forward Aidan Johnson has received a two-match ban for his high bump on St Kilda's Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera. Mature age draftee Johnson earned his second suspension of the season after bumping Wanganeen-Milera mid-jump in the Demons' 28-point loss to the Saints in Alice Springs. Wanganeen-Milera missed most of the second term but passed a concussion assessment and finished with 29 disposals. The incident was graded as careless conduct, high impact and high contact. Johnson is set to miss the King's Birthday blockbuster against Collingwood and their round-14 clash against Port Adelaide. While Wanganeen-Milera was able to see out the game, Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin had admitted the contact with his head spelled trouble for Johnson. The 25-year-old, who was pick No.68 in last year's national draft, has played only five games, after serving a one-match ban for a dangerous tackle in round one. "Obviously when someone comes off to get assessed they're going to have a look at it, so we'll just let that play out as the week unfolds and see where that sits," Goodwin said after the match. "Fortunately for Nasaiah, he came back on the ground and passed his concussion test." Melbourne livewire Kysaiah Pickett was charged with striking Marcus Windhager and can accept a $3125 fine for his third such offence with an early plea. The Demons pair were the only players from Sunday's matches to draw action from the match review officer.

Rowell cleared but is mature-age Demon in strife again?
Melbourne forward Aidan Johnson could be suspended for the second time in his five-match AFL career after unleashing a high bump, but Gold Coast midfielder Matt Rowell's match-day report was thrown out. An airborne Johnson elected to bump as Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera got a rushed kick away in St Kilda's upset 28-point win over the Demons in Alice Springs on Sunday. Wanganeen-Milera missed most of the second term while assessed for concussion, but was cleared to return. The star playmaker finished with 29 disposals and 795 metres gained in a stand-out display. "I just wanted to come back and play my role, and it was good to get the win," Wanganeen-Milera told Channel 7 after the match. Johnson, 25, was selected by Melbourne with pick No.68 in last year's national draft. He was suspended after his debut match in round one for a spearing tackle on GWS forward Callum Brown. The fact his bump on Sunday got his opponent in the head could spell bad news for him. "Obviously when someone comes off to get assessed they're going to have a look at it, so we'll just let that play out as the week unfolds and see where that sits," Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin said. "Fortunately for Nasaiah he came back on the ground and passed his concussion test, so we'll wait and see how that plays out during the week." St Kilda coach Ross Lyon wouldn't be drawn on Johnson's bump for fear of creating more controversy, following a bitter fall-out from his "AFL nepo baby" comments about Gold Coast a week earlier. But Lyon did raise concerns after St Kilda's Hunter Clark was penalised for high contact in a contest with Trent Rivers, while adding he was pleased Fremantle captain Alex Pearce was cleared of rough conduct last week over his collision with Darcy Byrne-Jones. "I like the physicality of the game. I'm concerned where the game's heading," Lyon said. "I understand the head's sacrosanct and all that but there was one with Hunter Clark where he went down at the ball and won it. "I'm glad Alex Pearce got off. I'm not the MRO. I'll leave it to them. "You just hope both teams and everyone in the comp gets a fair shake." Meanwhile, Rowell was cleared of any wrongdoing for his glancing jab to the face of Fremantle's Neil Erasmus. Rebounding defender Daniel Rioli also had no case to answer for an incident in which he rushed in and caught Andrew Brayshaw high in the dying moments of Fremantle's 11-point win. Dockers forward Jye Amiss was fined $3000, reduced to $2000 with an early guilty plea, for striking Sam Collins.
