A four-game suspension was the verdict on Wednesday night, and Nash will now miss Hawthorn’s fixtures against West Coast, Richmond, Melbourne and Gold Coast.
Conor Nash has received a four-week suspension at the Tribunal for striking Gryan Miers.
Miers, meanwhile, has entered the 12-day concussion protocols, and has been ruled out of Sunday’s clash with Carlton, at least.
Monday’s round six match — played in front of 88,746 fans at the MCG — ended in a 86-79 victory for Geelong as they leapfrogged Hawthorn into sixth place.
Nash became the first Irish player to make 100 appearances for the Hawks last month and has signed a long-term contract extension until 2029.
