THE SANFL tribunal is expected to come down hard on Port Adelaide player Henry Slattery for this brutal bump which left Sturt opponent Jack Stephens with a broken jaw.

After a week in which the bump was the most talked about topic in the football world, the SANFL will set its own benchmark on dangerous hits to the head.
