The Geelong Football Club has advised the AFL it has accepted the sanction against Gary Rohan as set out by the Match Review Officer and discontinued proceedings with the Tribunal hearing scheduled for Thursday afternoon. 
 
Rohan will now miss Geelong’s match against West Coast Eagles on Sunday at Adelaide Oval.
 
Geelong General Manager of Football Simon Lloyd said, “With a Monday game and the short timeline between being notified of the MRO’s charges and the deadline to make a decision, the Club has decided to accept the sanction following further legal consultation throughout Wednesday and again on Thursday morning.”
