GEELONG defender Max Rooke will miss Saturday's clash against West Coast at Skilled Stadium after accpeting a one-match ban for engaging in rough conduct against North Melbourne's Sam Power.
The panel assessed Rooke's charge as negligent conduct, high impact and body contact.
Rooke's previous one-match suspension over the last three years meant he received 247.5 points, which equates to a two-match ban.
But because he entered an early guilty plea his points tally dropped to 185.63 points, which means he will be available for the first week of the finals.
Meanwhile, North Melbourne's Michael Firrito has accepted a $900 fine for making an obscene gesture during the last quarter of the Roos' 33-point loss to the Cats.
