COLLINGWOOD defender Jeremy Howe can accept a $2000 fine for a rough conduct charge on Bomber Jordan Ridley in Thursday's Anzac Day contest at the MCG.
Ridley was forced from the field after his head hit the MCG turf in the tackle in the fourth quarter, with the incident assessed as careless conduct with low impact and high contact.
The young Bomber had his neck assessed by club doctors but went back onto the ground not long after.
The incident was classified by the Match Review Officer as a $3000 sanction as a first offence, but Howe can accept a $2000 financial penalty with an early plea.
Magpies midfielder Taylor Adams can accept a $1000 fine by careless contact with an umpire in the fourth quarter.
The listed penalty is a $1500 sanction, but Adams can reduce that to $1000 with an early plea.
