HAWTHORN midfielder Jordan Lewis is free to play in Saturday night's must-win clash against Collingwood at the MCG after escaping suspension for striking North Melbourne's Michael Firrito at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night.
The strike was assessed as low impact as well as to the body and intentional conduct and with his previous record added on he was facing 162.5 demerit points and a one-match ban
The prolific ballwinner admitted to punching Firrito but the Hawks successfully argued that the blow that Lewis delivered to Firrito's stomach was not of sufficient force to constitute a reportable offence.
