COLLINGWOOD forward Travis Cloke is free to play against Carlton on Sunday if he accepts a reprimand for the misconduct charge of headbutting Melbourne's Matthew Warnock during Monday's clash at the MCG.
The match review panel assessed the incident as reckless conduct with low impact, which equates to 125 demerit points and a one-match penalty.
But the 25 per cent discount for an early guilty admission would drop the points below 100 to avoid suspension and he would be eligible to play against the Blues at the MCG.
The Cloke-Warnock incident happened during a second quarter scuffle that resulted in five players being cited on melee charges.
Collingwood skipper Scott Burns received a $2100 fine for his second melee offence, while Cloke and Melbourne's Lynden Dunn can accept $1200 fines.
Magpies forward Paul Medhurst and Demon Medhurst and Demon Clint Bartram can accept $900 fines for wrestling each other.
