Andrew Brayshaw and Bailey Banfield have both avoided suspensions for their contentious moments in Fremantle's narrow loss to Geelong at Optus, though Banfield can accept a $1250 early plea fine for his misconduct with Cat Zach Guthrie during the fourth quarter.
Brayshaw's collision with Geelong midfielder Tanner Bruh did result in a concussion for the young Cat, but with no apparent malice involved, the MRO opted against punishing the Docker star.
Tanner Bruhn was ruled out of the game with concussion after this incident with Andrew Brayshaw.
