Geelong star Gary Ablett is facing a one-match ban after being cited for striking Dylan Shiel in Sunday’s win over Essendon.

The incident was assessed by the MRO, and was deemed to be intentional conduct with low impact to the head, equating to a one-game suspension.

The 34-year-old is facing his first suspension in his illustrious career.

Geelong will have until midday on Tuesday to challenge the decision.
