Charlie Cameron will miss the blockbuster clash against Sydney on Sunday, with the Lions forward one four players to cop suspensions from Sunday's action.
Cameron has copped a three-week ban for his tackle on West Coast's Liam Duggan, while Greater Western Sydney's
Toby Bedford (three weeks) and Gold Coast pair
Alex Davies (three weeks) and
Malcolm Rosas jnr (one week) have also been rubbed out.
Cameron drove Duggan into the ground in the opening minute of the second quarter at Optus Stadium on Sunday, with Duggan hitting the back of his head and immediately heading to the bench with trainers.

Is Charlie in trouble for this tackle?
Liam Duggan is taken from the field after a Charlie Cameron tackle drove his head into the ground
With both arms pinned, Cameron used his bodyweight to drive Duggan to ground and the premiership defender looked dazed as he made his way off before being substituted out of the game due to concussion.
The incident has been graded careless, severe impact and high contact, which has triggered a three-week ban.
The Lions forward was staring at a one-game suspension earlier in the year for a tackle on Melbourne's Jake Lever, but
Brisbane argued successfully to have the ban overturned due to Cameron's "good character".
The Tribunal used "exceptional and compelling circumstances" to downgrade the charge, citing Cameron's clean playing record and off-field character assessments.
