The Match Review Panel had plenty to adjudicate over following a spiteful clash between North Melbourne and St Kilda with four incidents assessed.

Michael Firrito was cleared of contact against St Kilda’s Ahmed Saad during the first quarter, but Saint Brendan Goddard wasn’t as lucky. He copped a three-week ban (two with an early sanction) for striking Sam Wright.

St Kilda’s Sean Dempster and Jarryn Geary were cleared for contact on Brent Harvey and Andrew Swallow respectively.

View the Match Review Panel’s findings below.

Brendon Goddard, St Kilda, has been charged with a Level Four striking offence against Sam Wright, North Melbourne, during the fourth quarter of the Round 14 match between St Kilda and North Melbourne, played at Etihad Stadium on Sunday July 1, 2012.

In summary, he can accept a two-match sanction with an early plea.

Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the North Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct (three points), medium impact (two points) and high contact (two points). This is a total of seven activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Four offence, drawing 325 demerit points and a three-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to 243.75 points and a two-match sanction.

Contact between North Melbourne's Michael Firrito and St Kilda's Ahmed Saad from the first quarter of Sunday's match was assessed. After viewing all available footage and an MRP investigation in which both players were interviewed, it could not be determined if a reportable offence had occurred. No further action was taken.

Contact between St Kilda's Sean Dempster and North Melbourne's Brent Harvey from the second quarter of Sunday's match was assessed. After viewing all available footable and an MRP investigation in which both players were interviewed, it was the view of the panel the force used was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.

Contact between St Kilda's Jarryn Geary and North Melbourne's Andrew Swallow from the second quarter of Sunday's match was assessed. Swallow is preparing to mark as Geary seeks to spoil. Swallow marks the ball and high contact is made with Geary's spoil, for which a 50-metre penalty was paid. It was the view of the panel that Geary had his eyes on the ball and his actions were an attempt to spoil. No further action was taken
