Other Incidents Assessed:
Contact between the Brisbane Lions' Mitch Robinson and the Sydney Swans' Dan Hannebery from the first quarter of Saturday's match was assessed. Hannebery receives the ball from a teammate and immediately seeks to handball the ball on to teammate Josh Kennedy. As Hannebery releases the ball, Robinson meets him with a bump to the chest area. There was no high contact made and it was the view of the Match Review Officer that Robinson's actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.
Contact between the Geelong Cats' Sam Menegola and Carlton's Sam Rowe from the second quarter of Saturday's match was assessed. Menegola takes Rowe to ground in a tackle. Rowe has hold of Menegola's arm as the Geelong player tries to get up, to return to play. Menegola seeks to free himself and in getting to his feet, contact is primarily made between the Geelong player's shin and Rowe's back. It was the view of the Match Review Officer the action did not constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.
Contact between Fremantle's Aaron Sandilands and North Melbourne's Sam Durdin from the fourth quarter of Sunday's match was assessed. Fremantle's Stephen Hill has the ball and is moving down ground, with Durdin coming towards him to pressure him. Sandilands comes towards Durdin to shepherd for his teammate. Contact is made between Sandilands' shoulder and Durdin's upper chest area, with an accidental head clash then occurring between the pair. It was the view of the Match Review Officer the Fremantle player executed the bump with contact to the body and could not have reasonably foreseen a clash of heads between the players. Sandilands' conduct was not unreasonable in the circumstances and no further action was taken.
