Bogan was also handed an extra two-game ban which was suspended for the rest of the season in a lengthy hearing.

Player advocate and Eagles treasurer Peter Landers slammed the tribunal for their decision after the hearing.

“It’s a shame our players have to wear shorts. They should be wearing dresses,” Landers said.

Eagles president Scott Robinson said yesterday the club felt the penalty was “very severe”.

“We are having a look at our options. We have until 2pm (today) to make a decision,” Robinson said.

AFL Barwon general manager Lee Hartman said it was unlikely the Eagles would be sanctioned for Landers’ comments.

“We will have a chat to them,” Hartman said.

“Clubs need to be careful with what they are saying after the tribunal.

“They are an independent tribunal.

“At this stage there will be no action.”

During the hearing tribunal chairman Phil Swindells labelled Bogan’s contact as “clumsy, lazy and reckless”.

He said head high contact was something that has got to “be stamped out of the game”.

“(It’s) extremely lucky player McKenzie didn’t suffer more serious injury,” Swindells said.

Video presented to the tribunal showed Bogan’s legs making high contact with McKenzie after he bent over to pick up the ball.

Bogan pleaded not guilty to the charge and told the tribunal he was aiming for McKenzie’s side and not his head.

McKenzie said he felt the contact was about a three out of 10 and he suffered no injury from the contact.

“I didn’t see it coming, but it wasn’t overly hard,” McKenzie said, adding he felt contact to his left neck and shoulder.

“It wasn’t as if the impact dazed me. I was up between two or three seconds (after the contact).”

Umpire Steven McDonald issued the report and handed Bogan a yellow card for the bump during the game and said he had an unimpeded view of the incident.

Bogan said he only had eyes on winning the ball “at all costs” and was “surprised” he was even reported.

Landers argued that Bogan is a “clumsy” player and that contact was accidental.
