NORTH Melbourne star Brent Harvey has escaped suspension for rough conduct on Hawthorn’s Sam Mitchell.

Harvey was offered a $1000 fine for contact that some suggested was too high on the Hawks midfielder.

But West Coast Eagle Simon Tunbridge is in big trouble having been offered two separate bans, totalling three weeks, following two incidents with GWS Giant Adam Kennedy.

Tunbridge was offered a one-week suspension for striking Kennedy in the third quarter of West Coast’s win.

He was then offered a two-week ban for a sling tackle which was judged as rough conduct on Kennedy in the fourth quarter which saw the Giant stretchered off the ground.

A melee in Brisbane’s win over Carlton saw Lachie Plowman ($1500), Sam Docherty, Rhys Mathieson, Eric Hipwood and Ben Keays (each $1000) offered fines.

Luke Hodge ($1000) and Michael Firrito ($1500, second charge) have been offered fines for wrestling each other.

Swan Toby Nankervis was cleared of contact on Saint Sam Fisher.
