SUPERFOOTY
COLLINGWOOD ruckman Darren Jolly is under threat of suspension again.
He will attract the AFL match review panel's scrutiny for a high hit for the second week in a row.
Jolly appeared on video for off-the-ball high contact to Sydney's Ben McGlynn at the MCG on Friday night.
While the contact sent McGlynn sprawling to the turf, the Swan regained his feet and played on.
The panel will seek extra video rather than rely solely on television's wide shot.
Jolly escaped a rough conduct charge from the previous round after the panel decided the majority of contact was to Geelong's Mathew Stokes's body and the high contact was not sufficient force to be an offence.
The Magpies have a ready replacement should Jolly be suspended for Friday night's game in Brisbane, with veteran Ben Hudson playing a pivotal role in the VFL team's nine-point win over Essendon on Saturday.
Hudson had 29 effective hitouts in his 21-possession performance.
