Important Hawthorn defender Josh Gibson is free to play against Geelong in their highly anticipated AFL qualifying final clash after he was cleared by the match review panel of any wrongdoing for his high hit on Collingwood's Levi Greenwood.
Gibson caught Greenwood high in the second quarter of Sunday's thrilling one-point win by the Hawks, but the MRP found it was a genuine attempt to spoil and worthy of only a free kick against the influential back man.
The AFL's MRP offered only one player a suspension from round 23 - Brisbane defender Daniel Merrett, who was slapped with a two-match ban for striking St Kilda's Shane Savage.
Merrett made sure he finished his career with a bang when he was charged with striking Savage in the last quarter of his 200th and final AFL game.
Sydney ruckman Sam Naismith is free to play in his first AFL final after he escaped with a fine for his bone-jarring tackle on Richmond's Bachar Houli.
Naismith faced a nervous wait after he lifted Houli off the ground and slammed him back-first into the turf in the second quarter of the Swans' 113-point belting of the Tigers at the SCG.
But the 24-year-old can accept a $1000 fine after the incident was assessed as careless conduct with medium impact to the body.
West Coast midfielder Sharrod Wellingham was also found to have no case to answer for his collision with Adelaide's Mitch McGovern.
North Melbourne's Lindsay Thomas, Carlton's Jacob Weitering, Fremantle's Matt de Boer and Greater Western Sydney's Devon Smith can all accept fines.
