100%

that was a poor decision by floss to hit him in the head. (The kick will get a fine, if that) Going into such an important game against the cats as well.

stuff expect another loss.

A good QC could argue that Thompson actually headbutted Vlastuin's fist. He really did lean into it, Floss was just going to give him a thump to the chest which is kinda legal.

The AFL advises the Match Review of last night’s Round 11 North Melbourne v Richmond match at Marvel Stadium has been completed.

No charges were laid from the match with two incidents requiring detailed explanation.

Incidents assessed:

Contact between North Melbourne’s Marley Wiliams and Richmond’s Jack Higgins in the second quarter of Friday night’s match was assessed. Higgins takes possession of the football and is immediately tackled by Williams. As Higgins is attempting to dispose of the football, Williams holds Higgins’ left arm and takes him to ground. It was the view of the MRO that Williams’ actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.

 Contact between Richmond’s Nick Vlastuin and North Melbourne’s Scott Thompson in the fourth quarter of Friday night’s match was assessed. Vlastuin bumps Thompson as Robbie Tarrant takes his kick in the backline for North Melbourne. Vlastuin then attempts to push Thompson in the chest. Simultaneously, Thompson lowers his body and leans forward towards Vlaustin, and high contact occurs. It was the view of the MRO that the Vlaustin’s action did not constitute a strike. No further action was taken.
