BRISBANE utility Tim Notting has been hit with a one-match ban by the AFL match review panel for striking North Melbourne's Scott Thompson.
The panel assessed the level-three offence as intentional, of low impact and high contact.
Notting will only miss Saturday night's crucial clash against Collingwood at the MCG if he decides to enter an early guilty plea but if he elects to challenge the charge and loses he will also miss the match against Essendon at the Gabba in round 18.
In other tribunal news, Geelong midfielder Joel Corey was charged with striking Hawthorn youngster Liam Shiels but will be free to play against Adelaide at Skilled Stadium on Saturday if he accepts a reprimand and 70.31 demerit points towards his future record.
The level one striking offence equated to 125 points and a one-match suspension but Corey's five-year good record and an early plea would reduce the penalty by 25 per cent and allow him to play against the Crows.
Hawthorn young gun Cyril Rioli can accept a $1950 fine for making negligent contact with umpire Ray Chamberlain in the third quarter of the Hawks' heartbreaking one-point loss to the Cats at the MCG.
