THE BROWNLOW Medal chances of Geelong skipper Joel Selwood rest with the Match Review Panel after he was reported for striking Sam Mitchell on Thursday night.
The MRP will not assess the charge until Monday but it shapes as one of the most keenly anticipated outcomes for the season.
The charge was laid after the star Cat became involved in an incident with West Coast Brownlow medallist Mitchell late in the first quarter.
Because of the report, CrownBet has stopped taking bets on the 29-year-old, who had firmed into $11 after a brilliant game against Adelaide in round 10.
Selwood has had an outstanding season and leads the AFLCA Coaches' Award.
He is also equal third in AFL.com.au's Brownlow predictor.
He had just 19 disposals against West Coast and was not expected to figure in the votes however his teammate, reigning Brownlow medallist Patrick Dangerfield, was once again prominent and remains favourite to go back-to-back.
Selwood has polled 168 Brownlow votes in his career and finished second in 2013, one vote behind former teammate Gary Ablett.
Geelong plays Fremantle next Sunday at Simonds Stadium.
