Lance Franklin and Zak Jones have both been cleared by the Match Review Panel for separate incidents in Friday night’s win over Melbourne.

Contact between Franklin and Melbourne’s Mitch Hannan from the second quarter of Friday’s match was assessed.

The panel said Hannan fumbled the ball after being given a handpass and bent down to collect the ball. Franklin was running towards the Melbourne player with his arms outstretched in a tackling motion when high contact was made.

A free kick was paid at the time for the high contact. It was the view of the panel there was insufficient impact in the high contact to constitute a report. No further action was taken.

Jones was also cleared of contact with Hannan during the fourth quarter of Friday night’s win.

The ball was loose with both players coming to the contest. Jones runs through the line of the ball and seeks to hit or tap the ball with his right hand to his advantage, making contact with the ball. At the same moment, he braces for contact with Hannan and high contact is made to the Melbourne player.

It was the view of the panel that Jones was contesting the ball and no further action was taken.

Melbourne midfielder Thomas Bugg was referred directly to the tribunal for his strike on Callum Mills during the first quarter.
