Carlton's Charlie Curnow has been cleared to play after having his intentional conduct charge downgraded to careless, after he was referred directly to the Tribunal for making contact with an umpire last Saturday.

Curnow was seen making contact with the umpire, but the Tribunal have ruled in his favour, meaning he'll be able to face the Demons on Sunday.

Curnow’s brother Ed will now face the Tribunal on his own umpire conduct charge.
