MRP Update: Lewis Faces Ban

Hawthorn's $387k midfielder Jordan Lewis is facing a week on the sidelines with the Match Review Panel charging him for a striking offence.

Lewis, owned by almost 4,000 DT coaches, was in trouble for striking North Melbourne's Michael Firrito in Sunday's clash in Tasmania.

The Hawk has been offered a one-match-ban by the MRP and an early plea won't help reduce that due to a poor record.

Young Adelaide $86k bigman James Sellar faces a fine for contact with an umpire.

In other news, the MRP threw out charges for gun Geelong $412k midfielder Jimmy Bartel after rough conduct on Brisbane's Luke Power.

Also, much to the relief of many DT coaches, Hawks $249k forward Lance Franklin is free to play next week after the MRP ignored his rough conduct report for kneeing North's Drew Petrie.
