CibbuanoWaite cops one-week ban

CARLTON could be without utility Jarrad Waite for Saturday's crucial clash against Geelong, with the 25-year-old charged for striking Fremantle's Chris Mayne in the final quarter of the Blues' come-from-behind win over the Dockers.
The match review panel handed Waite 80 demerit points for his action. A total of 97.75 carry-over points from within the last 12 months pushes Waite over the one-match ban threshold, which cannot be reduced to less than 100 points even with an early plea.
Hawthorn skipper Sam Mitchell has escaped suspension for tripping Melbourne's Simon Buckley, and has been offered a reprimand and 93.75 points with an early guilty plea.
If the Hawks choose to contest the charge at the tribunal, they will risk having the midfielder suspended for one match as the initial offence has drawn a total of 125 demerit points and a one-week ban.
Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich and Melbourne youngster Nathan Jones have been fined $1950 for making negligent contact with an umpire.
Melbourne's Aaron Davey was cleared over his late bump on Xavier Ellis. It was the view of the match review panel that Davey was committed to the contest and when he realised his contact would be late he turned his body and made contact with Ellis' left side.
The panel ruled Davey did not make high contact and therefore his actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances, with the 50 metre penalty paid on the day considered sufficient punishment.
Hard-running Western Bulldogs defender Lindsay Gilbee was also cleared over an incident involving North Melbourne's Ed Lower. The panel deemed that the contact was below that required to consitute a reportable offence.
Carlton spearhead Brendon Fevola and Sydney's Michael O'Loughlin escaped punishment over clashes with Fremantle's Heath Black and Port Adelaide's Jacob Surjan respectively due to insufficient video evidence.
