Patrick Cripps suspended by Match Review Officer

Carlton star Patrick Cripps has been suspended for the rest of the home and away season.

In a huge blow to the Blues’ finals hopes, Cripps was handed a two-game ban for his bump on Callum Ah Chee.

Michael Christian graded the incident from Sunday’s match as careless conduct, high contact and high impact.

Matthew Lloyd said the two-game ban felt right.
