Essendon midfielder Jye Caldwell has been offered a $3000 fine for his strike on Collingwood’s Nick Daicos.
The incident occurred during the third quarter of the Bombers’ loss to the Magpies at the MCG on Tuesday with Caldwell striking Daicos following a tackle.
"That might get him a week."

The MRO graded the strike as intentional conduct, body contact, low impact.
If the grading came through as medium impact, he would have been offered a one-game ban.
The Don will be free to play in this Sunday’s clash against Geelong at the MCG.
