All incidents should prove to be a storm in a tea cup.

Hopefully.

Carlton utility Trent Sporn, reported on Saturday night for charging Brisbane's Daniel Merrett, will not have a case to answer after the panel deemed that he was committed to the contest and the contact was inevitable.

Teammate Justin Davies' clash with Lion Jason Akermanis was also reviewed but the panel viewed that the contact made by Davies was minimal and made with an open hand in an attempt to hit the ball.

Carlton skipper Anthony Koutoufides' collision with umpire Adam Davis during the fourth quarter was deemed accidental and the result of Lion Michael Voss pushing him into Davis' path.

The panel decided that no action would be taken against Voss but warned all players that a repeat of this conduct may result in a charge being laid against the player who causes the contact.

(BTW, why wasn't it a fifty when the player ran between Lappin and the mark????

Common sense on the Sporn one especially, that was pretty damn farcical
