HAWTHORN has received a major boost ahead of Saturday’s grand final against Geelong with classy forward Mark Williams escaping punishment from the match review panel for his hit on St Kilda defender Max Hudghton.
It was the view of the panel that contact was to Hudghton's back and not to the head/neck region.
The umpire in control of the play paid an immediate free kick, which was seen as the appropriate penalty.
In other tribunal news, Hawthorn ruckman Robert Campbell was cleared over his bump on St Kilda skipper Nick Riewoldt.
The panel ruled that the contact was not forceful enough to constitute a report.
Jordan Lewis was cleared over an altercation with David Armitage as was Lenny Hayes for his hit on Hawthorn vice-captain, with the panel ruling the contact in both incidents was not forceful enough to constitute a report.
St Kilda’s Brendon Goddard can accept a reprimand and 93.75 towards his future record by entering an early guilty plea for striking Hawthorn’s Sam Mitchell.
Western Bulldogs youngster Josh Hill was charged with a level one bumping or making forceful contact from front-on offence against Andrew Mackie and can also accept a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.
