MRP Update: Week For McVeigh

Essendon's $318k midfielder Mark McVeigh will miss Friday's match against Carlton after accepting the match review panel's one-match suspension for striking Melbourne's Jared Rivers.

McVeigh would have put him self at risk of a two-match ban if he contested the charge, so wisely he accepted the one-game suspension.

Geelong's $391k midfielder Cameron Ling has been offered a reprimand for striking Freo's Nic Suban. If Ling contests the ruling, he risks a one-match suspension.

Freo's $223k defender Antoni Grover is in the same boat as Ling, offered a reprimand for striking Geelong's Steve Johnson, but should he contest the charge he risks a one-match ban.
