CARLTON'S Chris Yarran has been sent directly to the AFL Tribunal for striking, while nine Adelaide and Melbourne players have copped more than $10,000 in fines for engaging in a melee after the Match Review Panel's look into round three's incidents.
Yarran has been charged with striking Essendon veteran Paul Chapman during the first quarter of the Blues' 21-point loss at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.
The defender couldn't explain his brain-snap, which saw him throw two left-handed blows at Chapman, the second of which landed above the Bomber's right eye.
Yarran's hit 'uncharacteristic' says Malthouse
Chapman was forced from the field with blood pouring down his face after the first-quarter incident, and later had to be tested for concussion during the match.
He had stitches above his eye following the game.

The incident was assessed as intentional conduct with high impact to Chapman's head.
Yarran, who has no applicable bad record, can not accept an early guilty plea.

Meanwhile, Crows players Rory Sloane, Scott Thompson, Josh Jenkins, Matthew Jaensch and Taylor Walker have accepted fines for a three-quarter time melee during their win over Melbourne.
Sloane was slapped with a $2500 fine for instigating the melee, which has been reduced to $1500 with an early guilty plea.
Thompson was also hit with a $2500 fine for his second offence of engaging in a melee but his early plea reduces the fine to $1500.
Jenkins, Jaensch and Walker accepted $1000 fines, down from $1500 for their first melee offences with early guilty pleas.
Melbourne captain Nathan Jones, Dean Kent and Bernie Vince were charged with their second melee offences and accepted $1500 fines, while Jay Kennedy-Harris also pleaded guilty and accepted a $1000 first offence fine.
No further action was taken after the MRP assessed three other incidents involving Greater Western Sydney ruckman Shane Mumford, Carlton midfielder Bryce Gibbs and Port Adelaide defender Alipate Carlile.
Mumford was reported for rough conduct on the Sydney Swans' Jeremy Laidler during Saturday's clash but after speaking to the umpire and assessing the footage, the MRP was not satisfied a reportable offence occurred.
Gibbs' bump on Dons midfielder Brendon Goddard was deemed insufficient force to warrant a charge, while Carlile was cleared because he was contesting the ball and had no realistic other option when he made contact with North Melbourne's Sam Wright.
