GEELONG, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 15: Joel Selwood of the Cats thanks fans after the match in which he overtook Reg Hickey to become the Cats longest serving captain during the 2018 AFL Round 04 match between the Geelong Cats and the St Kilda Saints at GMHBA Stadium on April 15, 2018 in Geelong, Australia.

Geelong captain Joel Selwood's challenge of his striking ban was successful after the tribunal found him not guilty.
Just seconds after Thomas bumped Selwood's brother Scott, Joel came in to remonstrate with Thomas, and was charged with intentional conduct with low impact to the head.
Selwood was able to overturn the originally proposed one-game suspenion and is now cleared to play in Saturday's crunch game at GMHBA Stadium against the Swans.
Sydney will be without Lance Franklin and Dan Hannebery, after coach John Longmire ruled the pair out on Tuesday afternoon.
