The North vice-captain will contest 125-point (one match) sanction following a third quarter incident with the Hawks' Brian Lake.
"The charge is ‘unnecessary and unreasonable contact’; I’d ask any reasonable person to suggest what Drew should have done in that situation - maybe write Brian an email or something – because he couldn't see, he couldn't breathe, he couldn't talk," Brad Scott said on Monday night.

The Hawthorn defender was referred directly to the Tribunal with a decision to be made on any potential penalty.
