RICHMOND star Eilish Sheerin will be available to face North Melbourne in Sunday's blockbuster clash after escaping with a fine from a rough conduct charge from the Tigers' round five win.

Sheerin was cited for her tackle on Kirsty Lamb during Richmond's 21-point victory over Port Adelaide on Tuesday night.

The Tigers defender gave away a free kick after the tough tackle on Lamb, who hit her head on the ground.

The Match Review Officer graded the tackle as careless conduct, low impact and high contact, resulting in a $400 penalty, or $250 with an early plea.
