Geelong will not challenge the one-match suspension handed down to Mitch Duncan by the Match Review Panel.

Duncan was cited for striking Sydney’s Tom Papley in the final term of the Cats’ 46-point loss to the Swans in round 20.

The strike was graded as intentional contact with medium impact to the body and received a two-game suspension, though reduced to one with an early plea.

Duncan will now miss this Saturday’s clash with Richmond at Simonds Stadium.
