Hawthorn's Luke Hodge will miss this weekend's game against West Coast after accepting a one-match suspension from the AFL match review panel.
He pleaded guilty to striking Richmond's Brett Deledio in Saturday's clash at the MCG, and will miss the Sunday afternoon match-up with the Eagles at Subiaco as the Hawks look to hold off the Bulldogs for second place.
Port Adelaide's Peter Burgoyne has also accepted a reprimand for rough conduct against Collingwood's Shane O'Bree, while Carlton's Simon Wiggins has accepted a reprimand for charging.
