Defender Taylor Duryea has been charged by the AFL Match Review Officer.
He can accept a $2000 sanction with an early plea.
Duryea was charged with striking Collingwood’s Josh Thomas in the second quarter of the Western Bulldogs’ 16-point win at the MCG on Friday night.
The incident was assessed as careless conduct, low impact and high contact. It was classified as a $3000 sanction as a first offence, which can be reduced to $2000 with an early plea.
