RICHMOND star Eilish Sheerin was sent straight to the Tribunal after making intentional contact with a referee, while veteran defender Maddy Collier was handed a one-match ban.

Sheerin was cited for intentional contact with a referee, as opposed to careless conduct which would have only attracted a fine.

The match review officer elected to refer Sheerin straight to the Tribunal for the incident, which occurred in the fourth quarter of the Dreamtime game in Darwin on Saturday night.

Collier was cited for rough conduct involving Brisbane’s Shannon Campbell in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game.

The match review officer rated the incident as intentional, medium impact and body contact, drawing a one-match ban.

Meanwhile, six other players were slapped with fines in week nine.
