THE MATCH Review Panel has come down hard on serial offender Toby Greene with the Greater Western Sydney star accepting a two-match ban for his hit on Caleb Daniel.
Greene, who struck Daniel in a marking contest in Friday night's clash against the Western Bulldogs, was charged with intentional striking and making medium impact to his opponent's head.
The All Australian, who has been charged three times by the MRP this season, will miss matches against St Kilda and Collingwood.

Richmond ruckman Toby Nankervis was the only other player suspended out of round six, with the gun recruit accepting a one-match ban for an off-the-ball hit on Adelaide's David Mackay.
Nankervis was attempting to shake Mackay off when he threw an elbow back, making high contact, which was classified as careless conduct with medium impact.

Fremantle superstar Nat Fyfe escaped suspension for a similar incident on West Coast's Elliot Yeo, but escaped with a $1000 fine.
Fyfe, who was being held by his opponent, made contact with his elbow to Yeo's head, which was classified as careless conduct and low impact.

North Melbourne's Luke McDonald also accepted a $1000 fine for striking Gold Coast midfielder Michael Barlow in Saturday's clash at Etihad Stadium.
The strike was classified as careless conduct with low impact to the body.
GWS ruckman Shane Mumford has been cleared of any wrongdoing for a forceful tackle on Bulldog Tom Liberatore, which left the midfielder with concussion.
"Mumford did not lift or rotate his opponent in the tackle and the tackle consisted of one action," the Panel said in its findings.
"It was the view of the Panel the tackle was not unreasonable in the circumstance and no further action was taken."

Sydney superstar Lance Franklin was also cleared for an open hand strike on Alex Silvagni in Saturday's clash at the MCG.
"It was the view of the Panel the force used was below that required to constitute a report," the MRP said.
North Melbourne captain Jack Ziebell also escaped penalty for a high bump on Gold Coast forward Brandon Matera because there was insufficient force.
