Fremantle ruckman Zac Clarke has accepted a $1000 sanction for tripping Port Adelaide’s Jared Polec.

The incident took place in the second quarter of the round 1 match between Fremantle and Port Adelaide, played at Domain Stadium on Sunday 5 April.

Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from Port Adelaide, it was the view of the Match Review Panel that the incident should be classified as careless conduct with low impact to the body.

The offence was classified as a $1500 sanction under the table of penalties, which was reduced to a $1000 sanction with Clarke’s early plea.

Clarke has no applicable bad record.
