Fremantle defender Nathan Wilson has been handed a one-game ban for striking Bulldogs forward Cody Weightman.
In a contest between the pair, Wilson was seen hitting Weightman in the groin during the final quarter of Sunday's clash at Optus Stadium.
A costly brainfade from Nathan Wilson, caught holding the ball & then gives away a silly 50m penalty for a below-the-belt hit ๐คฏ

Wilson has been charged by the Match Review Officer, who have treated the incident as intentional and low impact.
The Dockers have a bye this weekend, meaning Wilson won't feature for his side for close to three weeks as he misses Fremantle's clash with Collingwood in Round 15.
His return is scheduled for Round 16, when the Dockers host Carlton.
