Geelong midfielder James Kelly will miss the start of the 2007 AFL season after accepting the penalty handed down by the match review committee.

Kelly accepted a two-match sanction for engaging in rough conduct with Brisbane Lions defender Jed Adcock during last Friday night's NAB Cup semi-final at Telstra Dome.

The penalty is a significant setback for Kelly who had set himself for a big 2007 in the Cats' midfield after a disappointing 2006 during which he struggled for form and consistency.

Kelly will be unavailable for matches against the Western Bulldogs and Carlton.
