Does that mean I now have to change my name?

Very, very strange process - that the match review panel can find nothing and then an opposition player can war a trial by media against an opponent. Clearly there is bad blood between the two of them
I don't condone the act of squirrel gripping but I have some major concerns about the way this case has been handled and it doesn't seem that Touk Miller has had a fair go at defending himself here
Duryea offered one-match suspension
Taylor Duryea has been offered a one-match suspension by the Match Review Officer for rough conduct in Sunday’s loss against the West Coast Eagles.
Duryea was cited for an incident involving Jamie Cripps during the fourth quarter at Marvel Stadium.
The incident was assessed as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact, resulting in a one-match sanction for the Bulldogs defender.
I’d say that’s the end of his career, but no doubt we sign him for another year or two.

Injured Eagle Elliot Yeo is also facing a one-match suspension for rough conduct against Jackson Macrae.
That was behind the play and the reason Macrae was subbed off

Bulldogs to challenge Duryea ban
The Western Bulldogs have decided to challenge the one-game suspension offered by the Match Review Officer to defender Taylor Duryea.
Duryea was handed the ban for rough conduct during the fourth quarter of Sunday?s loss against the West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium.
The incident was assessed as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.
Duryea was the first Bulldogs player to be charged with a game-related sanction by the MRO in the 2023 season to date.
The AFL Tribunal will sit tonight (Tuesday, August 22), with the hearing involving Duryea scheduled for 6.30pm.
Anyone seen the incident?
