Sydney midfielder Adam Goodes will avoid suspension if he pleads guilty for a high bump on West Coast’s Adam Selwood during the Swans win at Subiaco on Saturday night.

Goodes was charged by the match review panel with a level one offence for rough conduct for the incident, totalling 125 demerit points, but this can be reduced to 93.75 points with an early guilty plea meaning Goodes will be available to face St. Kilda this weekend.

Selwood himself was charged with a level two striking offence on Amon Buchanan, but will also beat a suspension with an early guilty plea.

In other news coming from the match review panel, Western Bulldogs ruckman Ben Hudson will also avoid a suspension for striking St. Kilda’s Leigh Montana with an early plea.

But Fremantle’s Heath Black was not so fortunate, with the match review panel placing a possible three match ban for striking Brisbane’s Troy Selwood, or two matches with an early plea. 

Black, Troy Selwood, Geelong’s Paul Chapman and North Melbourne’s Michael Firrito were all fined for wrestling incidents from the weekend’s matches.

Any incidents from today’s Melbourne-Collingwood match will be announced by the match review panel tomorrow.
