Belmont Lions will be without Shaun McNamara for crucial clashes with Bell Post Hill and East Geelong after accepting a suspension following an investigation into an incident a match last month.

The former Geelong rookie suffered a concussion as a result and missed North Geelong’s loss to Bell Post Hill the following week.

The investigator assessed the incident as careless, high contact, and high impact, drawing a three-match sanction.
However, an early guilty plea from McNamara has resulted in a two-match ban.
He will be free to return for the Round 16 match-up with Inverleigh.
