Maher accepted the set ban after he was charged with striking Albury’s Joel Mackie in the second quarter of Saturday’s match.
It was the ruckman’s first senior match of the season.
He was the only senior player reported, but there were six across the three grades.
Wodonga’s Will Stefani and the Tigers’ Elliott Longfield were reported for allegedly striking each other at half-time in the reserve grade match, while Albury’s Jack Avage also faces a striking charge from the third quarter.
All have requested a tribunal hearing, on Wednesday.
Wodonga Raiders’ thirds player Callan Betterton has been charged with engaging in rough conduct, but there’s no set penalty offered, while, from the same game, the Saints’ Patrick Bren has accepted a two-match set penalty for striking.
