De Graaf was given a three week sanction - one of which is suspended until the end of 2022 - for the action on Storm player Tyler Edelsten.
An AFL Wimmera Mallee independent tribunal delivered the decision on Wednesday.
Laharum ultimately lost the round three match to the Storm 21-145 and are winless from the first three rounds.
De Graaf's suspension shapes as a big loss for the side, after he was named in the Demons' best across both of the first two rounds.
Round four will see them host Natimuk-United who are 1-2 to start the season.
