Port Adelaide defender Xavier Walsh has accepted a one-match ban imposed by the SANFL Match Review Panel.

During Sunday’s SANFL pre-season game at Alberton, Walsh was cited for careless conduct on Norwood's Tristan Binder. The second-quarter incident was graded high contact with medium impact.

Walsh will be unavailable for Port Adelaide's Round 1 clash on Friday, 28 March.
