But the AFL Women’s tribunal will sit for the first time on Tuesday night after Greater Western Sydney midfielder Nicola Barr was called to front the judiciary for rough conduct.

Ashmore was charged with rough conduct, with the tackle deemed to be careless conduct with low impact to the head.

Barr was hit with the rough conduct charge following an incident involving North Melbourne’s Ashleigh Riddell, with a medical report considered by the match review officer who referred the incident directly to the tribunal.

The league’s inaugural No.1 draft pick was also issued a reprimand for rough conduct against Kangaroo Daisy Bateman from Friday night’s North Melbourne victory.

Fremantle’s Gabby O’Sullivan was hit with a one-match penalty for striking Lion Shannon Campbell, while Brisbane’s Arianna Clarke was also offered a one-match ban for engaging in rough conduct against Docker Kellie Gibson.
