Other Matters Assessed:
Contact between North Melbourne’s Shaun Atley and the Western Bulldogs’ Lachlan Hunter from the second quarter of Saturday’s match was assessed. After viewing all available footage and receiving a medical report from the Western Bulldogs, the panel said it was their view that Atley’s action to lift Hunter during his tackle was careless, but there was not sufficient force to be able to sustain a report of rough conduct. A free kick was paid at the time by the umpire and the panel said there was no head contact to the ground for Hunter in the tackle. Further, there was not significant contact to the ground with Hunter’s body as the Bulldogs’ player was able to brace for the fall with his arm. As such, the panel felt a charge could not be sustained in this instance and no further action was taken.
