FRIDAY
Brad Close
In the opening quarter of Friday night’s game at the SCG, Close pinned the Aaron Francis’s right arm and took him to ground.
Francis’ head hit the turf and he took some time to get to his feet, but played out the match.
The AFL confirmed Match Review Officer Michael Christian had assessed the incident but determined Close had no case to answer.
“Francis gains possession of the ball with momentum in the Sydney Swans’ back pocket and is tackled by Close,”
“It was the view of the MRO that despite having Francis in a vulnerable position, Close attempted to slow momentum in taking him to ground and that in the circumstances he was not careless in tackling in that manner.
“No further action was taken.”
