Other incidents assessed: No Charge Laid.
The match day report laid against West Coast's Quinten Lynch was reviewed. It was the view of the Match Review Panel that Lynch initially threw his leg out but was quick to realise the danger of his action and withdrew his leg quickly to avoid any contact. The charge was subsequently withdrawn.
Contact between Melbourne's Matthew Whelan and the Western Bulldogs' Adam Morgan from the third quarter of Saturday's match was reviewed. It was the view of the panel the impact made by Whelan was deemed to be below the level required to constitute a reportable offence. No action was therefore taken.
Contact between Fremantle's Josh Carr and umpire Martin Ellis from the first quarter of Saturday's match was reviewed. The contact was deemed to be accidental and no further action was required.
The AFL Match Review Panel also investigated an incident where contact was made to Carlton's Marc Murphy during the first quarter of Saturday's match. Due to a lack of vision of the incident or any other evidence from any party which could identify the player or players responsible for the contact to Murphy, no further action could be taken.
For charges laid by the Match Review Panel, clubs and players have until 11am tomorrow, Tuesday April 11, to decide whether to accept the penalty allocated, or to contest the case.
