GWS<\/a> skipper Toby Greene<\/a> has been offered a one-game suspension after making high contact with Carlton<\/a>'s Jordan Boyd during the Blues' 19-point victory at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, match review officer\ufeff Michael Christian graded Greene's offence as careless conduct of medium impact and high contract and handed him a one-match ban as punishment.<\/p>\n

But the Blues come-from-behind \ufeffwin comes at an even bigger cost for the Giants with two of the side's key attacking options potentially sidelined for next week \u2014 with key forward Jesse Hogan<\/a> also banned.<\/p>\n

\"Greene<\/p>\n

In the fourth quarter, Greene leapt into the air in a marking contest, extending his leg and turning his body at the last second as Boyd also left the ground to contest the ball.<\/p>\n

The clash saw Greene's shoulder collide with Boyd's head after he ran back with the flight of the ball. Boyd was awarded a free kick for the contact.<\/p>\n

"You can see [Greene is] originally jumping but then he's slow getting there and he chooses to protect himself," Hawthorn legend Jason Dunstall told Fox Footy at the time.<\/p>\n

"He's got his eyes on the ball when he leaves the ground but [they deviate]."<\/p>\n

Boyd did not leave the field following the incident and played out the remainder of the match.<\/p>\n

\"Greene<\/p>\n

Earlier, Giants coach Adam Kingsley was adamant that Greene would escape a suspension.<\/p>\n

"It's hard being Toby," he told media post-match.<\/p>\n

"There won't be anything in that."<\/p>\n

Kingsley leapt to Greene's defence, noting that he is "allowed" to utilise his body to safely contest the ball.<\/p>\n

"He's allowed to contest the ball, isn't he? He's allowed to launch at the ball?," he said.<\/p>\n

"And if you're running and launching at the ball, and you've got your eyes for the ball, and you're trying to take a chest mark, and you get knocked \u2026 free kick against?"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Hogan was also handed a one-game ban for striking Carlton defender Lewis Young off the ball in the final term.<\/p>\n

Like Boyd, Young did not require medical attention or treatment following the high shot.<\/p>\n

However, because the hit occurred behind play, the offence was graded as intentional conduct of low impact and high contract.<\/p>\n

The pair will now be unavailable for \ufeffthe Giants' round seven clash with the Lions at Canberra's Manuka Oval on\ufeff Thursday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
