FREMANTLE forward Michael Walters will miss Saturday afternoon's clash with Carlton at Etihad Stadium after accepting a one-match ban for striking Adelaide defender Jake Kelly.

However, he has escaped penalty for headbutting Tom Doedee in the final term.

Walters punched Kelly in the midriff with just over two minutes left in the Dockers' three-point victory.

Match Review Officer Michael Christian assessed the incident as intentional conduct with medium impact to the body.

Christian believed the headbutting incident involved minimal contact and the action did not suffice a sanction to be warranted.

Brisbane backman Luke Hodge was cleared for his huge collision with Essendon captain Dyson Heppell in the second term at the Gabba on Sunday that left the Bomber concussed.

Christian said the former Hawk was trying to win the football and had no other realistic way to make a contest.

Lions young gun Harris Andrews accepted a $2000 fine for striking Bomber Mark Baguley in the third quarter.

That was seen as intentional conduct with low impact to the body.

Gold Coast tough nut David Swallow and St Kilda onballer Jack Steele accepted fines of $1500 and $1000 respectively for making careless contact with umpires.

Meanwhile, Sydney forward Will Hayward and Saints defender Shane Savage were both charged with misconduct against each other and accepted $1500 sanctions.
