Jarrad Waite could miss Sunday’s clash against Sydney after the Match Review Panel charged him with rough conduct for his tackle on Crow Tom Lynch.

The MRP deemed the contact high and medium impact. Waite was offered a two match suspension, which can be reduced to one with an early guilty plea.

North has until Tuesday morning to decide whether to challenge the ban.

Waite was arguably North’s best in big win over Adelaide in Hobart. The 34-year-old booted six goals despite missing the previous six weeks due to an AC joint injury.

The MRP also fined Crow Charlie Cameron for his hit behind play on forward Kayne Turner.

The Match Review Panel's findings were as follows:
Jarrad Waite, North Melbourne, has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against Tom Lynch, Adelaide Crows, during the second quarter of the Round Seven match between North Melbourne and the Adelaide Crows, played at Blundstone Arena on Saturday May 6, 2017.

In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Adelaide Crows Football Club, the incident was assessed as careless conduct with medium impact to the head. The incident was classified as a two-match sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept one-match sanction.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Thomas has been referred directly to the VFL tribunal after he made high contact with Demon Corey Maynard in Werribee’s win over Casey.

The tribunal hearing will be held tomorrow evening.
