Collingwood hit with a $5000 fine for a late change in round four
COLLINGWOOD has been fined $5000 for playing Jesse White even though he was not named as an emergency against Melbourne last Sunday.
Half the amount is suspended for 12 months.
The Pies withdrew defender Tyson Goldsack on the morning of the game due to illness and opted to replace him with White rather than one of the three listed emergencies.
White finished the match with 12 disposals in the 35-point loss and was dropped for Monday's Anzac Day clash against Essendon.
