The season may be over, but business continues...
Hawthorn's Sam Mitchell was reported during the Grand Final for forceful front-on contact against Geelong's Gary Ablett. The Match Review Panel (MRP) reviewed the incident and determined that Mitchell's contact on Ablett was caused by Mitchell being pushed into Ablett by Cat Cameron Ling. The MRP further determined that Mitchell did try to minimize the impact by trying to slow down before making contact with Ablett. They also determined that most of the contact was made to Ablett's shoulder and that the minimal contact made by Mitchell to Ablett's head was an attempt by Mitchell to protect himself. The charge was dismissed read more »

Penalties assessed, punishments assigned
Jamie Charman (Brisbane), striking Sydney's Brett Kirk: assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point), equaling five points, a Level Two offense, 125 demerits and a one game suspension. He has a record of one game suspended within the past three years, increasing the penalty 10% to 137.50 demerits.
Charman took his case to the Tribunal with former Brisbane player and current operations manager Marcus Ashcroft speaking on his behalf.
