Thorn is the first Women’s Premier League player to face tribunal in the 2020-21 season. The former Gold Coast Suns AFLW player has been charged with rough conduct.

Her actions were classified as careless conduct with high impact and high contact, resulting in a three-match penalty.

Thorn can accept a two-match penalty with an early guilty plea and will be no small loss for her Districts outfit having kicked 10 goals against Tracy Village.
