Richmond AFLW defender Beth Lynch has received a one-match suspension from the MRO.

The 26-year-old was charged with kneeing Gold Coast's Daisy D'Arcy in the fourth quarter of Sunday's Round 6 loss at Ikon Park.

The incident was graded as intentional and medium impact, with Lynch to now miss Saturday night's clash with Essendon at Ikon Park.

Ruck Poppy Kelly was also fined in the clash for rough conduct against Sun Charlie Rowbotten in the second quarter of the match, graded as intentional and low impact.

The incident was classified as a $400 sanction as a first offence. Kelly can accept a $250 sanction with an early plea.
