Kayne Turner has accepted a $3000 fine for striking Essendon’s Dylan Shiel.

The initial sanction was $5000, but was reduced following an early guilty plea.

Turner made high contact with the Dons’ midfielder during a high pressure affair at Marvel Stadium on Saturday evening. After the collision, Shiel made it back to his feet and was able to continue playing.

The MRO’s finding means Turner will be available to play against the Lions on Saturday night at The Gabba.
