Two charges have been laid down by the Match Review Officer from Geelong's Thursday night qualifying final win over Port Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval.
Power midfielder Willem Drew was charged for a dangerous tackle on versatile Cat Mark Blicavs in the third quarter, which resulted in a free kick on the night.

Drew has avoided suspension for the incident, which was graded as careless conduct with low impact and high contact.
He will pay a fine of $6,250, or settle for a $3,750 early plea.
Power Ruckman Jordon Sweet was also sanctioned by the MRO for a strike on Geelong opponent Rhys Stanley during the second term of the match.
The act was graded intentional, with low impact to the body, and he too can accept a $3,750 early plea or cop a $6,250 with an unsuccessful challenge.
The verdict leaves both players eligible to take part in next week's semi final, where Ken Hinkley and Port Adelaide will host either the Western Bulldogs or Hawthorn, pending the result of Friday night's elimination final.
No other charges were handed down from the match.
