I've read a few times here lately from posters saying that Fletcher got a week when he shook the goal post last year in r16 against North. I thought he only got a fine, but maybe my memory aint what it used to be. I know he missed r17, but that could have been through injury when he rolled his ankle in the North game.
Can anyone confirm?
I'm pretty sure I remember him getting a week from it.

Looks like i was right, just found this:
Essendon defender Dustin Fletcher pleaded guilty to an unusual charge of shaking a goal post during Sunday’s 52-goal epic at the MCG, and accepted an automatic fine of $A600. TV footage shows that, as Roo Jess Sinclair lined up for a goal near the behind post at the Ponsford Stand end in the third quarter, Fletcher was shown to be shaking the right goal post. Fitzroy’s Darren Wheildon was fined $A750 for shaking a goal post when a teammate was having a shot for goal in September 1993.
He missed the next week with an ankle injury.
