HAWTHORN vice-captain Luke Hodge will miss Sunday's clash against West Coast at Subiaco Oval after accepting a one-match ban for striking Richmond's Brett Deledio.
Hodge will need to be careful from this moment on as he has 71.38 demerit points hanging over his head should he re-offend against Carlton in round 22 or during the finals.
The 24-year-old is just one of a number of key Hawks with tribunal demerit points hanging over their heads at the business end of the season.
Others include skipper Sam Mitchell, star forward Lance Franklin, former captain Shane Crawford, midfielder Jordan Lewis, Grant Birchall and Michael Osborne.
In other tribunal news, Port Adelaide's Peter Burgoyne and Carlton's Simon Wiggins have accepted reprimands for rough conduct and charging respectively, while Port's Justin Westhoff and Collingwood's Nick Maxwell accepted a $900 fine for wrestling each other.
