Sydney's Heath Grundy was the only other player to be sanctioned,ย as he wasย fined $1,000 for engaging in rough conduct on Lindsay Thomas.
Meanwhile, Hawthorn's Jordan Lewis was cleared for his hit on Scott Lycett, with the force used deemed to be insufficient to warrantย a report.

Fremantle's Michael Apeness was also cleared for his contact on Giants' veteran Heath Shaw.
Lycett should have been given a week for getting his head in the way of a Hawthorn players fist. Should have been a free kick to Hawthorn at the very least.
