Drew Petrie will miss the clash against Essendon after accepting a one-match ban for striking.

The key-forward was cited for contact against the Cats' Andrew Mackie in Saturday night's win and risked a two-match sanction if he chose to appeal.

Speaking on Crocmedia's Sportsday on Monday night, Petrie said he regretted the incident.

"It was a little bit of undisciplined play from myself, I'll take responsibility and I won't shy away from that.

"It's a pretty ordinary feeling when you cop a week. I've obviously let the team down and it's embarrassing."

Aaron Black, Majak Daw and Mason Wood are among those likely to be vying for a call-up to take on the Bombers.
