COLLINGWOOD forward Travis Cloke has been charged with head-butting Melbourne defender Matthew Warnock in the Magpies' 21-point win at the MCG yesterday.
The match review panel viewed the incident as reckless conduct, low impact and high contact - equating to 125 points and a one match ban.
But Cloke can escape with a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record if he submits an early guilty plea.
Cloke was also one of three players charged with engaging in a melee during the Queen's Birthday.
Collingwood skipper Scott Burns was charged with a second offence for engaging in a melee and can accept a $2100 fine while Cloke was also charged with a first such offence and can accept a $1200 fine
Melbourne's Lynden Dunn has also been fined $1200 for engaging in a melee while Collingwood's Paul Medhurst and Melbourne's Clint Bartram were fined for wresting each other.
