Carlton's finals hopes have been dealt a huge blow after captain Patrick Cripps was handed a two-match ban for his high bump on Brisbane's Callum Ah Chee.Carlton have until 11am Tuesday to challenge Patrick Cripps's two-game ban over a high bump that caused a Brisbane player to leave the field with concussionCripps will miss the rest of the home-and-away season if the ban is upheldThat hit concussed Ah Chee, who was subbed out of the game.
If Carlton accepts the decision — or are unsuccessful in overturning it — Cripps will miss the club's challenging last two regular season games against Melbourne and Collingwood. After Sunday's 33-point loss to Brisbane, Carlton coach Michael Voss mounted a spirited defence of Cripps."The umpire probably told the story, didn't he? He didn't pay a free kick, did he?"If we are asking players to make micro-second decisions, I don't know whether the game enables that. I really don't."
"It was unfortunate. We hope he is OK. Clearly, we have empathy, in terms of that side of things, but we've also got to respect that the game is going to be evenly contested, and that looked like an even contest to me."
