HAWTHORN premiership captain Sam Mitchell is free to play in round one next season after being cleared of making front-on contact with Geelong's Gary Ablett Jnr in Saturday's grand final.
The match review panel ruled that the contact with Ablett was caused by Cats' tagger Cameron Ling pushing Mitchell into the contest.
The panel also said the 25-year-old had turned his body to lessen the severity of any contact and that contact between Mitchell's forearm and Ablett's head was seen as self-protection by the Hawks' captain.
