The Bulldogs on Monday announced that the 31-year-old will be sidelined indefinitely after suffering a concussion in the defeat, having collapsed under concerning circumstances in Round 5 against Essendon.
Teammate Aaron Naughton was slapped with a $3,125 ($1,875 early plea) fine for engaging in a melee whilst Hawks captain James Sicily and defender Jack Scrimshaw received similar penalties.
During the Richmond-Fremantle battle, six players were handed down financial sanctions for their behaviour whilst another three from the QClash will be reaching into their pockets to pay their fines.
