The AFL match review panel has thrown out Alan Didak's report for rough conduct on Carlton's Heath Scotland.
The panel ruled that Didak's contact on Scotland was accidental.
There had been widespread speculation that the Collingwood star would face at least a two-week suspension, which would have ruled him out of the start of the finals series, but he will now be available for Sunday's final round match against the Kangaroos at Telstra Dome.
The incident sparked an altercation between the two teams with Collingwood's Dane Swan and Ben Johnson and Carlton's Brendan Fevola all offered fines of $2400 by the panel on Monday for being involved in a melee.
However Fevola was cleared of the match day report of striking Swan after the panel ruled he merely grabbed him around the neck with an open hand.
But his Carlton teammate Jordan Bannister was offered a one-match suspension by the panel for striking Collingwood's Brodie Holland, also during the fiery aftermath from Didak's bump on Scotland.
In clearing Didak the panel said the Magpies' star goalsneak "had positioned himself to bump and had his arm and shoulder tucked in for contact" after Scotland has gained possession of the ball and Didak approached him from the side, but also slightly behind him.
The panel said Scotland attempted to avoid contact but "unfortunately contact was made to his head."
"Despite the high contact, Didak's action was viewed as a legitimate attempt to bump, therefore the contact to the head was considered accidental and the action was not considered to be a reportable offence," the panel concluded.
However Bannister was charged with a level four striking offence on Holland but can accept just a one-game ban because of his clean record over the past five years.
The incident was assessed as intentional conduct, low impact, behind play and high contact - equating to 325 points and a three-match ban.
But with a 25 percent discount both for his clean record and for an early plea, Bannister can accept just 182.81 points and a one-match ban.
i had to stop myself that night as i realised halfway through that you were from tasmania. :violin:
I'm laughin'...
at times, even being out there live, as I was. 
My worst round ever. Infact, this whole round sucked. I cant believe the Lions. What a dull game. We were playing poker during it, and I couldn't focus on either game.
