UPDATE:

The striking charge was graded as intentional, with severe impact and high contact
EARLIER:
Brisbane have provided an update on the condition of young defender Harris Andrews amid reports his condition had worsened after receiving a huge hit to the head from GWS star Jeremy Cameron on Saturday.
Cameron was reported for the incident and is expected to be referred straight to the AFL tribunal by Match Review Officer Michael Christian on Monday.
Andrews was struck to the chin by Cameron’s elbow in a marking contest, opening up a large gash and seeing the Lion treated delicately by medical staff as he left the ground on a motorised cart.

He appeared on the Lions bench later in the game, seemingly okay, but was later taken to hospital and reports on Monday suggest his condition may have worsened.
The Lions released a statement on Monday, with Andrews set to be given at least two weeks rest before he'd be reassessed.
"The Brisbane Lions can confirm reports Harris Andrews had a small bleed on the brain due to a severe concussion suffered in Saturday’s match against the GWS Giants," the statement read.
"Andrews was admitted to hospital late Saturday night his after his condition worsened. After undergoing tests and scans, he was discharged and returned home Sunday evening.
"Throughout this time the Lions Medical Staff have been in constant consultation with a neurosurgeon, who will re-assess Andrews in two weeks’ time."
Brisbane footy manager David Noble said the club was hopeful there would be no lasting effects,
“Our discussions with the neurosurgeon have been encouraging as they expect Harris to make a full recovery,” Noble said.
“He will have a follow-up scan in two weeks’ time, when we will know more.”
Reports emerged on Monday that Andrews had been readmitted to hospital and was suffering internal bleeding.
“Some pretty sizable developments out of Brisbane this morning,” reporter Sam Edmund told SEN Breakfast earlier on Monday morning.
“(Harris Andrews) was admitted to hospital hours after the game despite looking okay. He came to and I guess his condition deteriorated.
"The Brisbane Lions released a statement yesterday saying he was expected to be released from hospital late yesterday, but we can tell you this morning that they’ve found internal bleeding in Harris Andrews.
“Now, you’re going to ask me where the internal bleeding is, at the moment the Lions are saying they don’t know where the internal bleeding is.
“That’s a serious, serious issue, bleeding on the brain, if that’s indeed what it is.
“They did say he was expected to leave hospital yesterday, there’s no confirmation that has happened.”
The AFL website confirmed Andrews has bleeding on the brain but the club said he was "in good spirits".
The seriousness of the injuries sustained will likely see Cameron receive a hefty penalty from the tribunal, expected to be somewhere between three to six weeks.
Losing their best key forward could have massive ramifications on GWS’s finals chances after starting the season as premiership favourites.
They currently sit outside the top eight in 10th spot and with key players Toby Greene, Brett Deledio, Rory Lobb and Tom Scully already on the sidelines for extended periods.
