PORT Adelaide will be without Hamish Hartlett for the last two minor round matches, after the he reluctantly accepted a two-match sanction for rough conduct on Tuesday.

Hartlett used Twitter to let fans know he was out; “Couldn’t have been any more reluctant in the acceptance. Earlier in the season we would’ve challenged no doubt. Disappointed.”

Hartlett was charged by the Match Review Panel on Monday over a bump on Gold Coast’s Seb Tape at AAMI Stadium on Saturday.

The Panel assessed the incident as negligent, high impact and high contact – a three-week sanction without an early guilty plea – meaning Hartlett would have risked missing the first week of the finals had he decided to take his case to the AFL Tribunal.

Brisbane veteran Simon Black has accepted a one match ban and will miss his team’s AFL clash with the Western Bulldogs on Sunday.

The 2002 Brownlow Medal winner accepted the suspension for striking GWS skipper Callan Ward during Saturday’s match at the Gabba.

Black, who has been struggling with injury this season, is yet to decide whether to stretch his career into 2014.

If the 34-year-old decides to retire, the one-game suspension means his final AFL match will be in round 23 against Geelong.

West Coast veteran Dean Cox has accepted a reprimand and 70.31 points toward his future record for striking Geelong skipper Joel Selwood during the Eagles’ 66-point home defeat on Saturday.

Cox’s good record over the past six years bought him a heavy discount on what would have been his penalty.

West Coast midfielder Scott Selwood has accepted a reprimand and 93.75 points for tripping Geelong’s Mitch Duncan.
