Lual was flipped in the air after colliding with Cat Mark O’Connor, who had been forcefully pushed into the marking contest by Shiel, and came dangerously close to landing on his head.
The match review officer assessed the incident as rough conduct and referred it directly to the tribunal.

“If the charge is upheld by the tribunal, while the tribunal will determine the sanction in their sole discretion, the AFL’s view is that a suspension of one match is the appropriate penalty having regard to both the impact to O’Connor and the significant potential that Shiel’s teammate, Luamon Lual, could have suffered a serious head or neck injury arising from Shiel’s unreasonable conduct, which caused Lual’s head and neck to make contact with the ground with force,” they said.
