Michael Walters has accepted a reprimand and is free to play in Friday night's season opener against Collingwood.

Walters was charged with a level one rough conduct count and assessed with a one-match ban for contact with West Coast's Brant Colledge during the last quarter of their clash at Patersons Stadium last Thursday.

The early plea frees him to play but adds 93.75 points towards his future record.
