Thompson free to play
Scott Thompson has accepted a reprimand for striking.
Late in the second quarter, Thompson went back with the flight of the ball. In attempting to spoil, he was a fraction late and caught the Richmond full-forward high.
Michael Firrito’s scrap with Tyrone Vickery resulted in a two-week ban for the Tiger forward.
Firrito’s match day report for striking was thrown out.
Brent Harvey was also involved in an assessed case. Tiger Matt Thomas caught Harvey high during the third quarter, and has been offered a one game suspension for striking.
The Match Review Panel's findings were as follows:
Scott Thompson, North Melbourne, has been charged with a Level One Striking Offence (80 points, reprimand) for striking Jack Riewoldt, Richmond, during the second quarter of the Round 12 match between North Melbourne and Richmond, played at Etihad Stadium on Sunday June 8, 2014.
In summary, he can accept a reprimand and 63.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.

This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level One Offence, drawing 80 demerit points and a reprimand. He has an existing bad record of 5.00 demerit points carried over within the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 85 points and a reprimand. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 63.75 demerit points and a reprimand.
