Hayden Ballantyne can accept a $1000 fine for tripping defender Taylor Duryea during Friday's Preliminary Final, after he clipped the Hawk's feet.

The Match Review Panel graded his trip intentional conduct, low impact and body contact.

Michael Walters was cleared of striking Duryea after a match-day report, with his forearm to the defender's neck deemed to be of insufficient force after the Hawks submitted a favourable medical report.
