The AFL Match Review Officer has handed out a multitude of fines after Saturday's three games, with Geelong skipper Patrick Dangerfield headlining the list of sanctions.

Dangerfield clocked St Kilda's Ryan Byrnes high with an elbow after his arm slid up after making contact with the young Saint's shoulder during the Cats' loss on Saturday night.

Dangerfield has escaped with just a fine for his action, sanctioned a hefty $6,250, or $3,750 with an early plea.

The act was deemed careless conduct, low impact and high contact.

Also in the Saints-Cats affair, St Kilda forward Jack Higgins has dodged suspension for rough conduct.

Graded identically to Dangerfield, Higgins can accept a $2,000 with an early plea.

Star halfback Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has also been fined $1,500 for careless contact with an umpire.

A number of players have been fined for their involvement in the quarter-time melee during Richmond and Port Adelaide's clash.
Jason Horne-Francis (instigating a melee) can accept a $1,500 fine, while Sam Powell-Pepper, Joe Richards, Nick Vlaustin, Ben Miller, and Luke Trainor can all accept the same sanction for their engagement in the brawl.

In the early Saturday afternoon match, Mason Redman's rough conduct on Riley Thilthorpe can see the Bombers defender accept a $2,500 fine, reduced to $1,500 with an early plea, while Sam Durham's attempt at tripping Rory Laird has fined him $1,500.

Wayne Milera and Jade Gresham both made careless contact with an umpire and have been sanctioned $1,500 fines too.
