Port Adelaide has taken its bid to downgrade Charlie Dixon’s three-game ban to the SANFL’s Appeals Commissioner.
Port failed to overturn Dixon’s three-match ban, which he copped for a high bump while playing for the Magpies on the weekend, at Wednesday’s SANFL tribunal hearing.
The SANFL match review panel charged him with rough conduct, and deemed the hit as careless, high contact and severe impact.
His West Adelaide opponent Jordan White was concussed in the incident, forcing the MRP to grade it as severe.
Port claimed it was high impact, rather than severe, but this argument was rejected by the tribunal.
Port Adelaide have appealed this, with an appeals hearing to take place on Friday.
Dixon had been sent to the Magpies after some poor form of late for the Power.
The veteran is out of contract at the end of the season.
