GEELONG captain Patrick Dangerfield has been fined but not suspended for his high elbow on St Kilda's Ryan Byrnes on Saturday night.

Dangerfield collected Byrnes high after the Saints winger kicked the ball forward, giving away a downfield free kick.

The Cats veteran has been charged with striking by the Match Review Officer, with the incident graded careless, low impact and high contact.
