Overview

• Gold Coast’s Alex Davies had a one-match rough-conduct ban reduced to a fine, making him available to face Port Adelaide this week.
• The panel found he did bump GWS’s Ryan Angwin but accepted testimony that he braced and dropped his knees to lessen the force.
• The incident was initially graded high contact, medium impact and careless conduct, with AFL counsel arguing that impact is assessed by potential for injury rather than actual harm.
• Port Adelaide’s Ollie Wines failed to overturn a three-game suspension for a high bump on Carlton’s Cooper Lord, who was subbed out with a concussion.
• The decision rules Wines out of the Suns clash, which doubles as farewells for Ken Hinkley and Travis Boak, and the first two games next season, with Port considering an appeal.
