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.
Sicily’s off-the-ball punch to the midriff of Brisbane’s Lincoln McCarthy was deemed intentional but with low impact, attracting a $2000 fine.
And Naughton pleaded guilty and accepted a $2000 fine for his swinging gut punch on West Coast’s Will Schofield.
