Overview
- The MRO classified Wines’s bump on Cooper Lord as careless conduct with high contact and severe impact, resulting in a three-match suspension.
- Alex Davies will miss one game after his high-contact bump on Ryan Angwin was graded careless conduct with medium impact, ruling him out of Gold Coast’s potential finals-sealing match.
- Cooper Lord was substituted out of the game with concussion after the incident that led to Wines’s ban.
- Wines’s suspension also sidelines him from Port Adelaide’s farewell match for Ken Hinkley and Travis Boak plus the first two rounds of next season under coach Josh Carr.
- Additional fines targeted Adelaide’s Izak Rankine for staging and umpire contact and Brodie Smith for striking, reflecting a mix of monetary sanctions alongside suspensions.
