AFL MRO: Does this star Cat have something to worry about?

Geelong star Tom Stewart could face scrutiny from the Match Review Officer (MRO) for this knock on Collingwood's Nathan Kreuger during Friday's win at the MCG.

With the ball in dispute, Stewart attempts to bump Kreuger whilst heading toward the ball, making contact, admittedly light contact, with his head.

The Pies forward received a free kick from the umpire but was assessed by the Collingwood medical staff.

Veteran journalist Jon Ralph believes that the five-time All-Australian should be "absolutely fine to play next week".

"I think there is still room in football for accidents," Ralph said.

"I also think that Kreuger slips into that one as well."

The MRO findings from Friday night's contest will be released Saturday afternoon.

MORE TO COME.
