The North Melbourne forward was reported for contact during the third quarter of Sunday's clash at Etihad Stadium.
On Monday, the AFL's Match Review Panel cleared Thomas of any wrongdoing, adjudging the force as below that required to constitute a reportable offence.
The MRP's findings were as follows:
The match day report against North Melbourne’s Lindsay Thomas for striking the Gold Coast Suns’ Danny Stanley was assessed. After viewing all available footage, speaking to the umpire who laid the report on match-day and receiving a medical report from the Gold Coast Suns’ Football Club, it was the view of the panel the force used was below that required to constitute a reportable offence.
