GEELONG'S bad run with the Match Review Panel has continued, with key forward James Podsiadly accepting his one-match suspension for striking St Kilda midfielder Jack Steven.

In other incidents arising out of the panel's review of round 18, seven Adelaide and Fremantle players have accepted a total of $14,850 in fines after their melee at Patersons Stadium on Saturday night, with Fremantle duo Danyle Pearce and Michael Walters booked twice.

Hawthorn skipper Luke Hodge and Essendon players Jake Carlisle and Jake Melksham have also accepted their reprimands.

That means, for the second straight week, the Tribunal will not sit on Tuesday night.

Podsiadly's poor recent record is the reason why he will miss Friday night's game against North Melbourne.

The incident that landed him in hot water occurred when he was trying to dispose of the ball as he was being tackled from behind by Saints youngster Tom Simpkin.

As he tried to get his arms free, Podsiadly raised his forearm and elbowed the oncoming Steven in the face.

The MRP graded the incident as negligent, low impact and high contact.

The initial penalty was 80 demerit points and a reprimand. But Podsiadly had 93.75 demerit points hanging over his head after last week accepting a reprimand for rough conduct against Adelaide's Richard Douglas.

The carryover points increased Podsiadly's penalty to 173.75 points, which equates to a one-match suspension.

Carlisle was cited for shoving Hawthorn star Lance Franklin in the back and knocking him to the ground during the first quarter of Essendon's loss on Friday night.

The incident was assessed as intentional, low impact and body contact.

The initial penalty was a one-match suspension, but Carlisle's early guilty plea means he has escaped with a reprimand.

Melksham was cited for engaging in rough conduct against Hawthorn's Jarryd Roughead, and accepted his reprimand.

The contact occurred when Roughead was trying to apply a shepherd to Melksham and the Bomber braced himself for contact but it slipped high.
 
The incident was graded as negligent, low impact and high contact.

Hodge was booked for tripping Essendon big man Paddy Ryder in an incident that was graded as reckless, low impact and body contact.

His initial penalty was a reprimand and 80 carryover points, but he has reduced it to a reprimand and 60 carryover points after pleading guilty.

Essendon's Nick Kommer accepted a $1950 fine for abusing an umpire, while Hawthorn ruckman Max Bailey received a $900 fine for making contact with an umpire.
