Najwa allen hit

But star Essendon midfielder Madison Prespakis is still eligible for the league's best-and-fairest award after overturning her one-match ban for a dumping tackle.

Premiership Crows defender Najwa Allen has copped the largest suspension in AFLW history after being referred directly to the Tribunal for a bump that left her opponent concussed. Allen was facing a lengthy suspension as soon as the match review findings from Round 7 of the AFLW were released, sent directly to the tribunal for a rough conduct charge against Western Bulldogs player Kirsten McLeod. The Crows challenged the severe impact classification but Tribunal chairman Jeff Gleeson said the bump had potential to cause a facial injury. It was delivered with some force but with restrained force, and it went wrong. A three-game ban is the biggest suspension in AFLW history and rules Allen out for the rest of the home and away season. She is eligible to return for the first week of the finals, with the Crows set to finish inside the top four. Fellow Crow Ebony Marinoff copped a three-match ban from a pre-season game incident in , only to have her suspension overturned on appeal.

The longest ban ever across the eight AFLW seasons, the penalty — which came after Allen collected Western Bulldog Kirsten McLeod high with a bump — has reignited the debate around the proportionate length of suspensions in the round competition. Allen did not leave the ground, but the taller Crow's shoulder collected McLeod's head, with Allen raising her elbow in the follow-through of the bump, rather than keeping a straight-tucked arm the entire time. McLeod has a history of serious concussion issues, having 18 months on the sidelines to aid her recovery before returning in round nine last season. Crows head of footy Phil Harper said the club had explored "a number of avenues" before deciding to accept the suspension. Allen will return for week one of the finals.
