Sydney superstar Isaac Heeney has been hit with a one-match ban that will rule him out of Brownlow Medal contention.
Heeney collected St Kilda defender Jimmy Webster with a swinging arm late in the third quarter of Sunday’s thriller.

Webster was stopped in tracks and immediately grabbed at his face, while Heeney took an uncontested mark.
The St Kilda player had blood coming from nose, but was able to stay out on the field.
The match review officer assessed the incident as intentional, high contact and low impact, which results in a one-match ban.
The Swans have until Tuesday to decide if they will appeal the ban at the tribunal.
If they accept the ban then Heeney will miss this week’s clash against North Melbourne and be inelgibile for the Brownlow Medal.
Meanwhile, Adelaide star Izak Rankine has been slapped with a four-match ban for his bump on Brandon Starcevich.
Rankine collected an unsuspecting Starcevich off the ball and while the majority of contact appeared to be to the chest region, the pair clashed heads.
Starcevich was then subbed out with concussion.
Rankine’s bump was graded intentional, high contact and severe impact by the MRO, which has triggered a four-game ban.
