But the Power's leading goal kicker has instead been found guilty of a lesser charge of negligent conduct.
That still constitutes a Level 1 striking offence and a reprimand of 80 demerit points which will stand for 12 months.
Those points will disappear if he keeps clear of the Match Review Panel and Tribunal until this time next year.
His appeal argued that he legitimately attempted to contest and spoil the ball against Melbourne's Lyndon Dunn - his direct opponent - and Jetta.
Ben Krupka, for Schulz, argued that the conduct warranted neither the original charge of reckless conduct, or a lesser charge of negligent.
The tribunal jury of David Neitz, Wayne Schimmelbusch and Richard Loveridge took just three minutes to downgrade the charge to negligent.
While he would always remain free to play the Saints, Schulz said he couldn't plead guilty to an offence he felt hadn't been committed.
"I came here knowing ... I was either going to get off or get 80 points," Schulz said after the hearing.
"It didn't sit well with me to plead guilty (when) I thought I didn't do anything wrong.
"In the past when I've done something wrong, I've been happy to accept that and move on.
"I couldn't really swallow pleading guilty to something when I legitimately didn't think I'd done something wrong."
Schulz remains free to take on the Saints at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon at 4:10pm.
