June 30th 2008 07:11
HAWTHORN ruckman Brent Renouf has been hit with a three-match ban for striking West Coast tagger Adam Selwood during Friday night's match at the MCG.
The panel viewed the incident as reckless conduct, high impact and high contact equating to 325 points or a three-match ban, should Renouf elect to challenge the case at the AFL tribunal on Tuesday night.
But if the promising 20-year-old accepts the charge he will face only 243.75 points or a two-match suspension.
Renouf was also cleared over a second incident in which he made contact to the Eagles' Brad Ebert. The panel ruled that Renouf had tried to tackle Ebert as he accidentally struck him with an open hand.
In other tribunal news, West Coast full-back Darren Glass and team-mate Adam Hunter can both accept $1200 fines for engaging in a melee as can Hawthorn trio Trent Croad, Mark Williams and Lance Franklin.
Carlton forward Brendan Fevola was charged with a third offence of wrestling and faces a $3000 fine while the wrestling reports laid against Richmond's Jake King and Carlton's Bret Thornton at the MCG on Saturday were thrown out after it was ruled there was "no serious grappling for any length of time to constitute a wrestle".
The panel also took no action against Port Adelaide forward Daniel Motlop, who clashed with Dylan Addison and Daniel Cross during the last quarter of Saturday night's loss to the Western Bulldogs at TIO Stadium in Darwin while teammate Danyle Pearce was also cleared over a clash with Bulldogs skipper Brad Johnson.
