Michael Firrito has accepted a $1,000 sanction for striking Adelaide's Mitch McGovern in Thursday night's match.

Firrito made contact with the Crows' forward during the third quarter, with the incident classified as intentional, with low impact to the body by the AFL's Match Review Panel.

Firrito was handed a $1,500 sanction, which was reduced to $1,000 with his early plea.
