MIDFIELDER Tom Scully has accepted a $900 sanction for making negligent contact with an umpire.
 
Scully was charged with making contact with umpire Matt Leppard during the fourth quarter of last Sunday’s clash against Fremantle at the MCG.
 
A first offence for making negligent contact with an umpire carries a $1200 sanction.
 
As Scully took the early plea, his penalty was reduced by 25 per cent.
