Adelaide defender Mitch Hinge has been suspended for one game for a punch which stunned Fremantle's Andrew Brayshaw.

Hinge has been cited for striking by match review officer Michael Christian after landing a quick jab on Brayshaw in the second quarter of the Dockers' win on Friday night.

The dashing backman will miss Adelaide's home clash against Carlton next Saturday afternoon after his blow was deemed intentional, high contact and low impact.

Hinge's fellow defender Josh Worrell has been offered a $3000 fine for misconduct on Docker Michael Frederick in a third-quarter incident.

The Crows are among a pack of clubs with four wins and three losses after slipping to an 18-point away defeat to Fremantle.
