Jack Newnes has been charged with tripping Flynn Appleby while attempting to tackle the Collingwood defender in the fourth quarter.

The incident was assessed as careless conduct, rather than intentional, so the 25-year-old can accept a $2000 sanction with an early plea.

David Armitage was also put under the spotlight for a hip and shoulder on Collingwood’s Taylor Adams.
