Canberra Demons midfielder Alex Smout will miss the next two weeks after entering an early guilty plea during a hearing at the NEAFL tribunal this afternoon.
The 23-year-old was cited for striking during our win over the Gold Coast Suns last weekend.
Smout has lamented his actions as careless and reckless, during what he describes as a momentary lapse of concentration.
“To be honest it was a moment completely out of character, I let my teammates, the staff and the supporters down and I’ll push myself on the track over the next fortnight to put my hand up after the bye."
