St Kilda's Brendon Goddard has been charged with striking by the AFL's match review panel, but can avoid suspension with an early guilty plea.

The panel laid only two charges from the weekend's round, with Kangaroos forward Corey Jones facing a $900 fine for using abusive language towards an umpire.

Goddard was charged with a level one striking offence, against Fremantle's Steven Dodd, in the first quarter of Friday night's match at Subiaco.

If he were to contest the charge at the tribunal and be found guilty, he would face a one-match ban, but is expected to submit an early guilty plea and accept a reprimand.

Hey where is the bit about Pebbles

The Sydney Swans are breathing a sigh of relief after a striking charge against Ryan O'Keefe was thrown out by the match review panel on Monday.

So you can punch another player in the chest (ROK) or arm (Goodes) and it doesn't affect the one hit rule! I'm glad the fighting rules are starting to really crystalize before the finals.

Does this mean the charge was withdrawn??

Either way, great result and no interruptions to the side ahead of the finals.

Happy the system is working for us for a change!

Phew! So how many free punches is Ryano up to now? My calculations have him at three

Charge was withdrawn after no case to answer. Well done - we need him too.

Slightly OT, but did anyone see the montage to Jess Sinclair at quarter time?

"I've got you under my skin..."

Pretty amusing really.

[Sanecow]

Do you think they thought of putting that together during the game or did they pick the song before the game and then choose who to apply it to?

[BonBon]

YAY!

Sinclair had hold of his jumper and Ryan's movement was to free him.

Purely accidental contact, Ryan was looking the other way and just happened to hit the target...I mean face.

Case closed, nothing to see here!
