The North Melbourne defender was cited for contact against the Magpies’ Travis Cloke during the first quarter of Saturday’s match, with the incident assessed as reckless, low impact and to the body.
The Match Review Panel handed Thompson 80 demerit points, but 60 carry-over points from a previous incident resulted in a one-match sanction.
Thompson accepted an early plea, reducing the penalty by 25 per cent, but with 105 demerit points to his name still faces a week on the sidelines.
