MIDFIELDER Maverick Weller can accept a one-match sanction for striking Brisbane’s Rohan Bewick during the fourth quarter on Sunday.

The Match Review Panel deemed the conduct to be intentional, the impact low and the contact high – leading to a base penalty of two matches.

However Weller’s good record and an early plea will reduce the penalty to one game, allowing the 23-year-old to return before the bye in round 12.

St Kilda has until late Tuesday morning to contest or accept the one-match sanction.

Weller collected 19 disposals and laid four tackles in St Kilda’s 22-point win on Sunday at The Gabba.
