RICHMOND forward Ricky Petterd has escaped club sanction for clashing with cricket patrons during the Boxing Day Test at the MCG last month.
Petterd was with four former Melbourne teammates who were evicted late in the day after some ugly exchanges with fans in the rowdy Bay 13 section of the ground.
After meeting with Petterd, the Tigers yesterday confirmed the goalkicker would not be punished.
The rest of the group, featuring Dees trio Jeremy Howe (pictured above left), Lynden Dunn and James Frawley (left) and Geelong recruit Jared Rivers are also expected to avoid heavy penalty.
Melbourne and Geelong are set to formalise their decisions later in the week.
The Melbourne players resumed training at Casey Fields yesterday.
