Tribunal Update: Dawson Cops 2

St Kilda have paid for the price for challenging the Zac Dawson's rough conduct charge with the $220k defender suspended for two weeks at the tribunal tonight.

The Saints defender, who is owned by almost 35,000 DT coaches, would have missed just the one match with an early plea but instead will now miss the upcoming games against the Western Bulldogs and Sydney.

The other charge this week was for another Sainter, $271k forward/ruck Justin Koschitzke but he accepted a one-week ban for striking Adelaide's Richie Douglas.
