RICHMOND defender Alex Rance has called for a media conference after accepting a two-match ban for his strike to the back of Jack Watts' head.
Rance was widely criticised for the strike on the Melbourne forward, which was viewed as cowardly and dangerous.
The Match Review Panel said the strike was intentional contact with medium impact to the head. It was assessed as a three-game sanction, down to two with an early plea.
