Sydney Swan Ben McGlynn has been cleared of wrongdoing over an off-the-ball incident with St Kilda's Jack Steven during the third quarter of the Swans' 28-point loss on Saturday night.
Steven was leaving the field accompanied by a trainer when McGlynn, heading towards the centre square for a ball-up, bumped the hurt Saint.
The MRP determined that "both players were moving on their line for some distance, and neither player altered his direction", meaning McGlynn's bump only occurred because the pair crossed paths.
Incident assessed:
Contact between the Sydney Swans' Ben McGlynn and St Kilda's Jack Steven from the third quarter of Saturday's match was assessed.
Stevens is in the process of leaving the field before the next bounce, while McGlynn was moving into the centre to take up his position for the resumption of play.
The down-the-ground vision showed that both players were moving on their line for some distance, and neither player altered his direction.
Contact is made between the pair as they cross paths.
It was the view of the panel that McGlynn did not actively change direction to bump Steven and no further action was taken.
