The AFL Tribunal won't be needed this week after Geelong forward Tom Hawkins was among four players to accept their sanctions.

Hawkins was slapped with a $3000 fine for his clumsy raised forearm to the head of Sydney's Jordan Dawson in the Cats' 22-point home win.

It's his second financial sanction of the year.

Collingwood's Adam Treloar, Hawthorn's James Sicily and Western Bulldogs forward Aaron Naughton also avoided suspension.

Treloar accepted his $1500 fine for his body strike on Fremantle's Reece Conca during Collingwood's four-point loss on Saturday.
