Sydney Swans ruckman Toby Nankervis has been cleared by the match review panel for an incident involving St Kilda’s Sam Fisher.

The match review panel assessed that the ball was loose with Nankervis and Fisher running towards the contest from opposite directions. Fisher arrived at the ball momentarily before Nankervis and slapped the ball forward, past his opponent. Nankervis, who was committed to the contest, braced for contact with his arms crossed in front of him. High contact was made to the St Kilda player.

It was the view of the panel that Nankervis’ action was not a bumping motion and his actions were not reportable.

Nankervis will be available for selection to take on North Melbourne this Saturday afternoon.
