No charges for players

THE four clubs involved in this week’s semi-finals won’t face any disciplinary distractions after the AFL’s match review panel didn’t lay any charges yesterday.

It was the first time this year that the MRP returned a clean sheet after reviewing a round of matches.

The news will come as a relief to West Coast ahead of their semi-final against Greater Western Sydney on Saturday night.

Veteran forward Drew Petrie impressed in his side’s stunning elimination final win over Port Adelaide but was involved in a heavy collision with Hamish Hartlett in the first period of extra time.

Petrie collected Hartlett in the face as he went for a mark, leaving the Power defender dazed with blurred vision.

Geelong forward Steven Motlop was cleared after he made contact with Richmond’s Nick Vlastuin in the groin region on Friday.
