HAWTHORN midfielder Jordan Lewis has been hit with a one-match ban for striking North Melbourne's Michael Firrito during Sunday's clash at Aurora Stadium at Launceston.
Due to his poor record Lewis cannot escape with less than a one match suspension although he will not risk a heavier ban if he decides to challenge the case at the AFL tribunal on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Lewis' teammate Lance Franklin is free to play in Saturday night's must-win clash against Collingwood at the MCG after being cleared of engaging in rough conduct against North's Drew Petrie.
It was the view of the match review panel that the impact was below the minimum level of impact required to constitute a reportable offence.
In other tribunal news, Geelong star James Bartel's report for engaging in rough conduct against Brisbane midfielder Luke Power was thrown out after the panel ruled the clash was below the minimum impact required to sustain the charge.
Adelaide's James Sellar was fined $1950 for making negligent contact with an umpire while West Coast ruckman Dean Cox was cleared of the same offence.
