Enright, Mayne can take early AFL pleas

Injured Geelong defender Corey Enright and Fremantle forward Chris Mayne can accept striking reprimands after Saturday’s fiery AFL qualifying final.

Dockers full-back Zac Dawson was also cleared of three incidents, including a match-day report for striking opponent James Podsiadly before the first bounce.

Enright, who suffered a knee injury in the Simonds Stadium match, was charged with striking Mayne during the second term.

The match review panel also charged Mayne with striking Cats star Steve Johnson in the second term.

Enright and Mayne have no records, meaning they reduce their one-match penalties to 93.75 carryover points with early pleas.

The panel dismissed Dawson’s report for striking Podsiadly after looking at video footage of the incident and receiving a medical report from the Cats.

“It was the view of the panel that Dawson used an open hand in his action and that the contact was below that required to constitute a reportable offence,” the AFL said.

The panel investigated Dawson for an incident with Cats midfielder Mathew Stokes in the first term.

Stokes was interviewed and the Cats also filed a medical report on him before Dawson was cleared.

“It could not be determined conclusively that a reportable offence had occurred,” the panel ruled.

Dawson also made contact with Geelong captain Joel Selwood in the final term, colliding with him as the Cats midfielder handballed.

“It was the view of the panel that Dawson’s actions were not unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances,” the AFL said.

The Fremantle-Geelong clash was the only final from the weekend that attracted match review panel scrutiny.

Dockers coach Ross Lyon was furious after the epic win when asked if his players had been overly physical against Geelong.
