St Kilda small defender Jarryn Geary has accepted a fine for rough conduct following a late bump on Port Adelaide’s Robbie Gray in Sunday’s 33-point loss at Adelaide Oval.

The 27-year-old can accept a $1000 penalty with an early guilty plea after the Match Review Panel assessed the incident as careless conduct with low impact to the head.

The penalty was classified as a $1500 sanction, but due to Geary’s clean record the penalty was reduced with an early guilty plea.
