Fogarty was charged after a high hit on Sydney's Harry Cunningham in the second quarter of Adelaide's win over the Swans at the SCG, prompting the Adelaide Crows to challenge the resulting three-match striking ban at the AFL Tribunal whose remote hearing begins at 5:30pm AEST on 20 July 2026.
The AFL Match Review Panel assessed the contact as careless conduct with severe impact and high contact. Cunningham was ruled out of the game with concussion and will miss this week's match against GWS. The panel handed down the three-match ban, which Fogarty cannot reduce with an early plea.
Fogarty kicked four goals in the victory. The Crows sit in fifth place on the ladder, 0.6 percentage points behind fourth-placed Brisbane Lions, with five rounds remaining. Adelaide's next three games are against Collingwood on Thursday night, Essendon in round 21 at Docklands, and Richmond in round 22 at Adelaide Oval. The club is seeking to keep Fogarty available for those matches.
Separately, the Tasmania Devils named Ken Hinkley, the former Port Adelaide coach, as their inaugural head coach on 20 July 2026. Hinkley will begin a five-year contract on November 1, 2026.
