Tribunal

The report laid against Dawson for striking Podsiadly was thrown out after the panel decided he had "used an open hand in his action and that the contact was below that required to constitute a reportable offence".

The final quarter incident in which Dawson jumped in the air and clattered into Geelong skipper Joel Selwood was also looked at, but the panel found that Dawson was making a reasonable attempt to smother Selwood's handball.

Chris Mayne can accept a reprimand for a second-quarter incident involving Steve Johnson.

Mayne's contact with Johnson was graded as intentional, low impact and body contact which is 125 points or 93.75 with an early plea, leaving him free to play against either Sydney or Carlton in the preliminary final.

I reckon Dawson should have got a week, just because.  :P

The MRP are being consistently inconsistent again compared to other incidents just like this which have received a match.

yep, true to form but honestly there was nothing in any of the incidents so if they had 'picked and chosen' specific incidents that would've been another 'joke'.  ;)

i thought it was ironic with Stevie J apparently indicating to Mayne that he was gonna get 2wks or something like that - obviously as a serial offender himself he has a good idea!   ;)

Good result from the tribunal - None of Dawsons "incidents" deserved a suspension.  I am glad that they picked up Corey Enright whacking Mayne (which is why Mayne whacked SJ)

I cant believe they didnt consider SJ for staging

I'm sure Dawson is a shower golfer with those air swings.

Exactly, but he is a damn good full back under the Ross Lyon game plan

Poor Ziebell.

Must admit, a lot of similarities between Zac's incident and Ziebell's. Both left the ground, both made high contact, I thought Ziebell was making just as legitimate an attempt to get/smother the ball as Dawson. Very surprised Dawson didn't cop any weeks.

I was just talking shower when I said JZ, but just looked at the footage...

I have no idea how dawson got off when jz didn't... like ziebell actually made contact with the footy, and juggled it before dropping the mark from memory :S

that was really clumsy by dawson lol. If it hadn't been in finals, he probs would have copped a couple.

the only reason Ziebell got suspended is because his name is Jack Ziebell and the AFL doesn't like him for some reason. Zac shouldn't have got weeks, neither should have Ziebs
