Georgie Prespakis’ two-match suspension for rough conduct (dangerous tackle) has been upheld by the AFLW tribunal.

Geelong contested the charge on Tuesday night with Prespakis pleading not guilty, after a tackle on St Kilda ruck Erin McKinnon was judged careless conduct, high contact and high impact in the Match Review.

Tuesday’s Tribunal panel deliberated for one hour and 39 minutes before delivering the verdict to uphold the suspension.
