Sydney have decided against going to the AFL tribunal and will accept Lewis Melican's three-game striking ban.
The Swans weighed up their options after Melican avoided direct referral to the tribunal. He caught GWS midfielder Toby Bedford across the face with a swinging arm in Sunday's win over the Giants at the SCG.
The incident was graded as careless conduct, high contact and severe impact.
Bedford passed a concussion assessment, but was sent from the field under the blood rule for a cut to his right cheek.
He was later substituted out at halftime with blurred vision due to swelling around his eye.
Melican will miss Saturday's match against Essendon at Marvel Stadium, then the home game against Carlton and the MCG visit to play Melbourne.
