Whistleblower - Clean slate for grand finalists

Hawthorn and Sydney have escaped unscathed from the Match Review Panel's assessments of the preliminary finals.

The panel looked at an incident involving Sydney ruckman Shane Mumford for allegedly making unnecessary contact with an injured player - Collingwood's Chris Dawes.

But the AFL denied suggestions the umpires have requested footage.

The MRP had clear footage and deemed the incident wasn't reportable.

Adelaide's Jason Porplyzia was cleared of incident in which he made high contact with Hawthorn's David Hale.

The panel said Porplyzia had his eyes on ball and made legitimate attempt to spoil with an open hand.
