ADELAIDE midfielder Ben Keays has been fined for ripping Mason Cox's glasses off during the Crows' narrow loss to Collingwood on Sunday.

Keays has been charged with misconduct and can accept a $1,000 fine with an early plea.

He ripped the glasses of Cox in a spiteful exchange as melees broke out after the ruck/forward kicked his second goal in quick succession in the final quarter of the Magpies' come-from-behind win over Adelaide.
