MIDFIELDER Colin Sylvia has been offered a $900 sanction with an early plea for making contact with an umpire.
Sylvia was charged with a first offence for making negligent contact with umpire Jason Armstrong by the match review panel on Monday.
The incident happened during the third quarter of last Friday night’s clash against Carlton at the MCG.
A first offence for making negligent contact with an umpire is a $1200 sanction.
An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to a $900 sanction.
