ST KILDA veteran Justin Koschitzke will miss two matches for striking Collingwood's Jamie Elliott.
Koschitzke's poor record means he's stuck with the penalty ... and stuck three games short of 200 AFL games.
The AFL match review panel today hit the Saints' big man with a three-match ban, reduced by one if he pleads guilty to last Friday night's offence.
Carlton forward Jarrad Waite's long-awaited return has hit a snag with the Blue suspended for one match for headbutting Melbourne's Tom McDonald.
Yesterday's match was Waite's first senior game of the year and only his 12th since the start of last season following his battle with back and leg injuries.
The biggest umpiring calls of Round 6
Hawthorn's ace forward Lance Franklin is in the clear for his contact to Adelaide's Andy Otten.
The MRP decided Franklin's momentum took both players to the ground, an action that resulted in a 50m penalty but no charge.
North Melbourne ruckman Todd Goldstein has no case to answer from contact to Port Adelaide's Justin Westhoff and a match day report against Demon Luke Tapscott for a bump to Blue Kade Simpson was thrown out.
Geelong captain Joel Selwood was fined $1800 for wrestling and Richmond's former skipper Chris Newman is $900 out of pocket from their boundary line scuffle at the MCG on Saturday night.

Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd says Koschitzke might have played his last AFL game.
"They probably won't win the next two games. You wonder whether they'll decide to play the kids and whether he ever plays Justin Koschitzke again," Lloyd said on Channel 9's Sunday Footy Show.
Lloyd said his former coach Kevin Sheedy might have taken a more sentimental approach with a 197-gamer and helped him reach the 200-game mark.
But he expected second-year coach Watters to be more hard-nosed.
"I'm not sure Scott Watters as a new coach would be in the same vein as Kevin Sheedy," Lloyd said.
Former Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey is expected to replace Koschitzke for next week's match against Carlton.
