Incidents assessed:
The match day report laid against Fremantle's Ethan Hughes for contact on Collingwood's Ben Reid from the fourth quarter of Saturday's match was assessed. The ball is loose at half forward for Collingwood. Ben Reid goes down to collect the ball. Hughes approaches from the opposite direction and makes contact with Reid. It was the view of the MRO that there was insufficient force to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.
The match day report laid against Gold Coast SUNS' David Swallow for contact on GWS GIANTS' Lachie Whitfield from the fourth quarter of Saturday's match was assessed. Whitfield handballs the ball to a teammate at half back for GWS GIANTS. Immediately after he disposes of the football he is met by David Swallow who makes body contact. It was the view of the MRO that Swallow's actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.
Contact between North Melbourne’s Marley Wiliams and Richmond’s Jack Higgins in the second quarter of Friday night’s match was assessed. Higgins takes possession of the football and is immediately tackled by Williams. As Higgins is attempting to dispose of the football, Williams holds Higgins’ left arm and takes him to ground. It was the view of the MRO that Williams’ actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.
Contact between Richmond’s Nick Vlastuin and North Melbourne’s Scott Thompson in the fourth quarter of Friday night’s match was assessed. Vlastuin bumps Thompson as Robbie Tarrant takes his kick in the backline for North Melbourne. Vlastuin then attempts to push Thompson in the chest. Simultaneously, Thompson lowers his body and leans forward towards Vlaustin, and high contact occurs. It was the view of the MRO that the Vlaustin’s action did not constitute a strike. No further action was taken.
