Hunt was booked by the AFL’s Match Review Panel for engaging in rough conduct with Brisbane’s Daniel Rich.
In the incident, Hunt went to lay a shepherd for teammate Mitch Duncan and despite getting low clashed heads with Rich.
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Brisbane Lions Football Club, the incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of five activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Two Offence, drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. An early plea reduced the sanction by 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match sanction.
