The tribunal will not be required to sit on Tuesday night as all seven players reported over the weekend took early guilty pleas and resultant $1000 fines.

St Kilda’s Jack Newnes was booked for engaging in rough conduct against Bulldog Luke Dahlhaus and Sydney trio Lance Franklin, Luke Parker and Dan Hannebery and Carlton’s Sam Rowe and Zach Tuohy were sanctioned for their roles in a halftime melee.
