THIS year's finalists have emerged from round 23's Match Review unscathed, with no players set to compete in September banned during the AFL's last home and away games. 

North Melbourne defender Scott Thompson was the only player suspended by Michael Christian, with his late spoil on Jack Steele deemed worthy of a one-week ban.

The hit was graded as an intentional strike and was viewed by Christian as low impact to the head, which will see Thompson miss the first match of North Melbourne's 2019 season – provided the uncontracted 32-year-old plays into next year.

Fellow Kangaroos defender Majak Daw was also fined $2000 for an incident during the same game, where he was involved an awkward collision with St Kilda forward Jack Lonie.

Christian graded the incident as careless conduct, with low impact to the head.

A total of seven players were fined across the weekend:

  • Brandon Ellis fined $2000 for striking Toby McLean
  • David Astbury fined $2000 for striking Fergus Greene
  • Jack Graham fined $2000 for striking Dale Morris
  • Lachie Neale fined $1000 for careless umpire contact
  • Nat Fyfe fined $2000 for rough conduct on Brayden Sier
  • Harry McKay fined $2000 for striking Rory Atkins
  • Majak Daw fined $2000 for rough conduct on Jack Lonie
