Debutant Ben Ronke has been offered a fine by the Match Review Officer for being the instigator of a melee.

The tussle broke out at the end of the third quarter with the youngster able to accept a $1500 sanction with an early guilty plea.

Kieren Jack was also charged for a first offence of being involved in a melee at the end of the third quarter.

Jack can accept a $1,000 sanction with an early guilty plea. 

Isaac Heeney has been given the all clear for his tackle on Geelong opponent George Horlin-Smith.

It was the view of the Match Review Officer that as the ball was thrown in at a boundary contest Horlin-Smith takes possession of the ball at ground level with Heeney immediately tackling him from the opposite direction.

Horlin-Smith has momentum with his movement and Heeney goes to ground under the Geelong player in the tackle.

Horlin-Smith’s head makes contact with the ground as part of the tackle.

It was the view of the Match Review Officer that Heeney’s actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances.
