meaning a total of 218.75 points or a two-match ban.

But if he pleads guilty, Cloke's tally will fall to 164.06 points and a one-match suspension.

However, even a one-match suspension would be a major blow for the Magpies, who now find themselves just six points clear of ninth-placed North Melbourne and facing a match against third-placed Western Bulldogs at Telstra Dome on Sunday.

A two-match ban would also rule Cloke out of the traditional clash against in-form Sydney at ANZ Stadium in the second half of the split round.

His absence would be further felt given the 'Pies are already without fellow key forward Anthony Rocca (ankle).

There was better news for Geelong with the charge against reigning Norm Smith Medal winner Steve Johnson thrown out because the level of contact was below that required to constitute a reportable offence.

Meanwhile, Kangaroos skipper Adam Simpson can accept a reprimand and 70.31 points on his record after being charged with striking Fremantle's Ryan Crowley while Crowley and North defender Daniel Pratt have been fined for wresting each other.

Richmond's Shane Tuck was also fined for making negligent contact with an umpire while Melbourne's Brock McLean was looked at but cleared of pushing Tuck into the umpire in that particular incident.

The panel also surprisingly laid no reports arising out of Sunday's spiteful Geelong-Port clash at Skilled Stadium although Port's Robbie Gray and Daniel Motlop were looked at but cleared over incidents involving Geelong defenders Darren Milburn and Harry Taylor respectively.
