HULKING Swans ruckman Shane Mumford will play in his first grand final on Saturday after being cleared in a match review panel investigation of an incident during Sydney's preliminary final win over Collingwood.

Mumford was scrutinised over off-the-ball contact he made below the hips of Collingwood's Chris Dawes. The Magpie forward entered the match with a knee strain and immediately complained to a nearby umpire about the contact from Mumford, which could have been deemed misconduct for contact to an injured player.

The only footage of the incident released publicly was from a fixed-position camera behind the goals, which did not show anything below the players' hips.

However, in today confirming Mumford had not been charged, the AFL said it had used "clear video footage'' to determine that "no reportable offence occurred''.

The tribunal will not sit this week as no-one was charged in either of the weekend's preliminary finals.

Adelaide's Jason Porplyzia was cleared for a clumsy late spoil on Hawthorn's David Hale. Porplyzia received a free-kick, which he converted for a goal, because he was then bundled over by Hale's teammate, Ryan Schoenmakers.
