Melbourne's Kysaiah Pickett and Adelaide's Darcy Fogarty have avoided suspension for separate incidents in Saturday's clash at Adelaide Oval.
In an altercation involving Crows defender Jordon Butts, Pickett appears to swing his arm into his opponent's torso instead of choosing to tackle, leaving Butts requiring assistance to leave the field.
It was the Match Review Officer's view that Pickett's actions were Intentional Conduct, Low Impact and Body Contact, resulting in a $2000 suspension with an early plea.
The sanction means Pickett will be able to face Geelong at Kardinia Park next Thursday night.
Meanwhile, Fogarty was also handed a fine for his gut punch on Demon Jake Lever in the final quarter of Melbourne's 29-point win over the Crows.
The MRO deemed the incident in question as Intentional Conduct, Low Impact and Body Contact, with Fogarty also able to accept the punishment with an early plea.
Is Fogarty in trouble for this hit on Lever? ๐ค
