Anthony Caminiti will be unavailable for selection for the next three weeks, with the Tribunal handing down its findings this evening.

While the Match Review Officer initially deemed Caminiti’s exchange with Collingwood defender Nathan Murphy as intentional conduct, severe impact, high contact, the club was successful in arguing the contact should be reclassified as ‘careless’, leading to a reduced penalty.

“While we’re disappointed Anthony will now be unavailable for three weeks, we are pleased to have had the contact intent reviewed and adjusted accordingly,” Acting General Manager of Football David Misson said.

“As a club we place a premium on protecting the heads of not only our players, but our opponents, however as we saw tonight, incidents should be adjudicated on a case-by-case basis.

“Anthony is a young player only five games into his AFL career and our focus is on supporting him throughout this process.

“Anthony had a limited pre-season with us and is still incredibly new to the system, so he will use the next month to continue to invest in his education and training, which we will completely support him in.”

Caminiti wished Murphy a speedy recovery and quick return to full health.

“This is a disappointing situation, but I understand the importance we as a competition must place on protecting the heads of our players, and I respect the decision of the Tribunal," Caminiti said.

"My thoughts are with Nathan and I hope he makes a speedy recovery from concussion and returns to the field as soon as he can."

Caminiti will now miss Rounds 6, 7 and 8 of the 2023 AFL Season and will again be eligible for senior selection against Adelaide in Round 9.
