Humphrey copped a rough conduct charge after his sling tackle on Richmond’s Maurice Rioli junior during Saturday’s win at the MCG.
The incident was graded as careless with high contact and high impact resulting in the two-game suspension.
While Rioli’s arms were free the slinging nature of the incident, resulting in Rioli’s head hitting the turf, drew the attention of the Match Review.
Suns coach Damien Hardwick laughed off the incident post-game on Saturday, saying it did not warrant a sanction and “should have been holding the ball”.
