RICHMOND midfielder Daniel Jackson will risk a one-match ban by contesting a striking charge at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night.
Jackson was charged with striking Melbourne skipper James McDonald during the second quarter of the Demons' 55-point victory at the MCG on Sunday.
The incident was assessed as reckless conduct, low impact and high contact, which equated to 125 demerit points and a one-game suspension but Jackson could have escaped with a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early guilty plea.
Geelong star forward Steve Johnson accepted a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record for tripping Port Adelaide's Robbie Gray while St Kilda midfielder Leigh Montagna also accepted a reprimand for tripping Fremantle's Des Headland but due to an existing five-year good record he will only have 45 points hanging over his head.
Meanwhile, Carlton young gun Matthew Kreuzer has accepted a $900 fine for making negligent contact with umpire Jacob Mollison during the third quarter of the Blues' win over Adelaide at AAMI Stadium last Saturday.
