Schulz knocked the wind out of Melbourne utility Neville Jetta with an lumbering spoil, but the incident was graded as 'low impact' by the match review panel meaning he is in no danger of being suspended.

If Schulz is unable to beat the charge, he will be slapped with 80 carryover points as opposed to the 60 he would have been given with an early plea.

Schulz is currently equal third on the Cole Medal tally with 28 goals, three behind leader Jack Riewoldt.

Meanwhile Sidebottom will miss Collingwood's next three games after accepting his sanction.

He will miss clashes against Melbourne, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn in the coming weeks after taking his suspension for making contact with St Kilda's Maverick Weller on Friday night.

Greater Western Sydney forward Jeremy Cameron will miss one week after taking an early plea in response to his rough-conduct charge for clattering into Jarryd Roughead's head.
