Kangaroo's three-match ban upheld at Tribunal
SEN • April 29th, 2025 7:26 pm
North Melbourne's Paul Curtis will miss three matches after the Tribunal upheld his lengthy ban.
The Kangaroo forward tackled Sinn from behind, pinning the arms and bringing him to ground. Falling on top of the Port Adelaide player, Sinn's head was driven into the turf.
Sinn was concussed as a result of the incident, and with the MRO Michael Christian determining that the tackle was a reportable offence, Curtis was automatically handed three weeks.
North Melbourne's challenge was unsuccessful, with the Tribunal upholding that Curtis' tackle on Sinn was fairly graded as careless, high contact and severe impact.
Curtis will miss this Thursday's clash with Essendon, Brisbane at Hobart and Richmond at the MCG.
Through seven games in 2025, Curtis has had a breakout season, averaging 14 disposals and booting 18 goals to rank equal fifth in the Coleman Medal race.
