The Match Review Officer has handed down two charges from Friday's game between Geelong and Melbourne, with Demons forward Bayley Fritsch receiving a fine for rough conduct on Cats defender Tom Stewart.
The Fritsch penalty comes as a result of a 'tunnelling' act on Stewart during the match, with the Demon taking out the lower half of his opponent in a marking contest.
Fritsch's actions have earned the ire of the MRO, who graded the incident as careless conduct, low impact and body contact, resulting in a fine.
Fritsch has been offered a fine of $2500, which can be reduced to $1500 with an early plea.
Meanwhile, Geelong's Oliver Dempsey has been charged with 'staging' for a third-term incident.
Dempsey can accept a $1000 fine with an early plea, which would be reduced from the base sanction of $1500.
No other players were charged from Friday's action.
โCarelessโ โ what toshโฆ
That was deliberate.
Blatantly intentional.
The โMROโ is simply not in any way consistent, โfairโ or impartial.
Itโs fixed.
