Collingwood's Heath Shaw has accepted a one-week ban for striking Fremantle's Hayden Ballantyne during the second quarter of Saturday night's match at Patersons Stadium.

The penalty drew a two-match sanction, but Shaw sccepted a one-match ban with an early plea because he had no existing good or bad record.

Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from Freo, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and groin contact (two points).
