The 21-year-old Dockers tall broke the nose of Richmond’s Nick Vlastuin, leaving him bloodied, with the Match Review Officer grading the incident as careless with severe impact and high contact.
If unsuccessful at the Tribunal Voss, who has been serving as the Dockers’ back-up ruck during the respective absences of Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson, will miss games against Melbourne, Adelaide and St Kilda.

AFL 360 host Gerard Whateley described the action, which appeared to be a tackle gone wrong, as “pretty primitive”.
Melbourne great Garry Lyon said on Fox Footy of the ban: “I’m not one bit surprised, at all.
“He got that terribly wrong and he’s playing the price that he should pay.
“And I don’t reckon that if it did go to the Tribunal the old players code from Nick Vlastuin would be in place, because as he says to the trainer here – it’s just a roundhouse to the head, really!”
