ST KILDA forward Anthony Caminiti has received a three-match ban for his strike on Nathan Murphy that left the Collingwood defender with a concussion.
Caminiti was sent straight to the Tribunal for the incident, which the Match Review Officer graded as intentional conduct, severe impact and high contact and recommended a ban of at least four weeks.
However, the Tribunal downgraded the charge to 'Careless' conduct and Caminiti has been suspended for three matches.

Murphy, who later had words with the Saints contingent on the boundary line, will miss Collingwood's Anzac Day blockbuster against Essendon as a result of the concussion.
Caminiti landed at St Kilda during the supplemental selection period and has played a key role in a makeshift forward line over the opening five rounds this season.
