HEATH Scotland will miss Carlton's first two home-and-away clashes against Richmond and Collingwood after the Blues banned him over his guilty plea in an assault case.
Scotland will miss the two blockbusters and will have to make a $3000 charitable donation.
The charges arose from an incident at the Mulwala Ski Club in January last year.
Carlton general manager of football Andrew McKay said Scotland had let the club down with his actions.
"The club is very disappointed in Heath's actions as he did not uphold Carlton's core values and behaviours," McKay said.
Scotland will be available during the NAB Cup and will play VFL football through his AFL suspension.
Meanwhile Carlton's fresh bid to have Chris Judd's third-party deal with Visy returned to outside of the AFL salary cap has failed.
A meeting between AFL deputy chief executive Gil McLachlan, league executive Andrew Dillon, Blues chief executive Greg Swann and Judd's manager Paul Connors took place this week.
The Blues and Judd's management were seeking a compromise, but it is understood the AFL was not prepared to overturn its decision to exclude all of Judd's Visy payments - understood to be $200,000 a season - from the club's salary cap.
An AFL spokesman last night confirmed the meeting had taken place, but would not reveal details.
Carlton would not comment on the meeting with the AFL, but is said to be satisfied with some aspects of the outcome and the hearing it received.
The Blues have decided not to take the matter further, dropping a plan to take it to a formal AFL grievances hearing.
The Herald Sun exclusively revealed last November the AFL had ruled that the final year of Judd's six-season deal with Visy could no longer be exempt from the salary cap.
The resignation of AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson, who made the ruling last last year, facilitated the new meeting.
The matter is now believed to be closed.
JARRAD Waite's smooth pre-season hit a minor hurdle yesterday when the injury-plagued Carlton forward dislocated a finger.
Waite was clearly in pain as he came off the field at Visy Park.
Carlton confirmed he had the finger put back into place soon after.
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou has revealed he expects a "spike" in positive tests for illicit drugs, up from six in 2011.
KURT Tippett's manager, Peter Blucher, could find out his fate today when the AFLPA's Agent Accreditation Board meets to determine whether he should be punished for his role in the controversial contract Tippett signed with Adelaide in 2009.
