Marcus Windhager's running battle with Nick Daicos has earned the St Kilda tagger an AFL fine for striking.
Windhager can accept a $1000 penalty for the first-quarter incident in Saturday night's match against Collingwood at Marvel Stadium.
His tag on the Magpies star lived up to the pre-game hype, with plenty of incidents and Daicos eventually kicking a crucial goal in the last term as Collingwood won by 34 points.
It also continues to generate headlines, with St Kilda coach Ross Lyon saying the club will ask the AFL about free kicks paid against them for off-the-ball incidents.
Also on Sunday, Carlton midfielder George Hewett was hit with a massive $10,000 fine for striking North Melbourne ruckman Tristan Xerri in Saturday's loss to the Kangaroos.
It is Hewett's third striking charge, hence the hefty penalty. He can accept a $6250 fine with an early plea.
The third-quarter incident at the MCG was assessed as intentional conduct, low impact and body contact.
