Other Incidents Assessed:
Contact between the Sydney Swans' Shane Mumford and Collingwood's Chris Dawes from the second quarter of Friday's match was assessed. Mumford and Dawes are in the goal square and Mumford jostles Dawes for position as the ball is to be kicked in for a shot at goal. There is clear video footage of the incident. After viewing the footage, it was the view of the MRP that no reportable offence had occurred.
Contact between the Adelaide's Jason Porpylzia and Hawthorn's David Hale from the fourth quarter of Saturday's match was assessed. The ball is kicked into the Adelaide's forward line to the leading Porplyzia. Hale is moving to intercept the ball as it is kicked and reaches the contest first. As Hale prepares to mark, Porplyzia makes high contact and a free kick was initially paid against him. It was the view of the panel that Porplyzia had his eyes on the ball at all times and was making a legitimate attempt to spoil with an open hand. No further action was taken.
