GEELONG star Joel Selwood has been charged by the match review panel with a level-five striking offence, which incurs a four-match sanction, following an incident with Hawthorn's Brent Guerra in the final quarter of Saturday's clash at the MCG. Selwood can accept a three-week ban with an early plea.
 
The panel relied on evidence supplied by Guerra, video evidence and a medical report from Hawthorn relating to the incident in reaching its decision.

Evidence was gathered by AFL investigator Alan Roberts after the league moved in the wake of the incident, which happened off-the-ball during a tense last quarter on Saturday night.

Guerra suffered a perforated eardrum following the incident but Hawthorn has confirmed that he has improved significantly over the past 24 hours.

The incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), high impact (three points) and high contact (two points) drawing 425 demerit points and a four-match sanction.

Selwood has no existing good or bad record and an early guilty plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 318.75 points and a three-match ban.

If Selwood accepts the ban he will be ineligible for the Brownlow Medal.

Selwood is the only player facing a ban from the seven matches assessed in round 12 so far.

Carlton's Mitch Robinson has been offered a reprimand for forceful front-on contact against Lion Jack Redden in the second quarter of the clash at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points), drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction.

An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.

Richmond's Matt White has been charged with a level one tripping offence against Sydney Swan Craig Bird.

The incident drew 80 demerit points and a reprimand after it was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point).

White's five-year good record reduces the penalty to 60 demerit points. An early plea reduces this a further 25 per cent to 40 demerit points.

West Coast young gun Jack Darling and St Kilda midfielder Brett Peake can both accept $900 sanctions for making negligent contact with an umpire.
