MRP Update: Swan & Johnson Avoid Bans

Good news for DT coaches deep into the finals with popular pair Dane Swan and Stevie Johnson both not facing bans after the match review panel met on Monday.

Swan, a $474k midfielder owned by almost 55,000 DT coaches, was cited for engaging in a melee for the third time in his career but will only face a hefty fine of $3000 (with an early plea) rather than a suspension.

Johnson, a $337k forward owned by over 68,000 DT coaches, was in hot water for striking Sydney's Craig Bolton, but only drew 80 demerit points thus a reprimand, and that will be even lighter with an early plea.

Other reports include, Richmond's Jake King who can accept a two-match ban for striking Alan Didak. Also Tom Hislop can cop a one-match suspension for striking Shane O'Bree.

There were also fines for a huge list of Tigers and Magpies, including DT guns Brett Deledio, Heath Shaw, Tarkyn Lockyer and Dayne Beams, but an lighter wallet won't effect their DT output.

Also there was couple of incidents of contact between players which were assessed but waved away with players including, Alan Didak, Mark Coughlan, Travis Cloke, Luke McGuane, Cam Mooney, Ryan O'Keefe, Jonathon Brown, Brian Lake and Nick Maxwell.
