Grant took his case to the Tribunal and, with the help of Reid's testimony. succeeded in having the high contact classification downgraded. Grant testified that his intention was to push Reid in the chest and that contact to Reid's collarbone ended up being contact to Reid's windpipe due to Reid slipping over. Reid corroborated Grant's defense, stating that Grant's contact to his throat was due to his knee buckling at the time of contact. The Tribunal panel accepted the testimony of both players, leaving Grant with 93.75 demerits which is a reprimand with the demerits held over toward his future record.

The match day report against Carlton’s Jarrad Waite for rough conduct against Melbourne’s Matthew Bate was assessed by the Match Review Panel. The MRP ruled that Waite, who was attempting to mark the ball, had eyes only for the ball with arms outstretched as Bate also came in to attempt an intercept. The panel further ruled that, under the circumstances, the contact made between the pair was inevitable and dismissed the report. .

The match day report against the Western Bulldogs’ Ben Hudson for rough conduct against Collingwood’s Luke Ball was assessed by the MRP. The panel ruled that Hudson, who had tackled Ball while in possession of the ball, lifted Ball during the tackle but did not cause Ball;s head to hit the ground. This was backed up by a medical report which stated that Ball did not suffer injury. They further ruled that the tackle waw not made with excessive force and dismissed the report.
