North Melbourne midfielder Jack Ziebell is free to play against Adelaide on Thursday night.

Ziebell was cleared by the Match Review Panel for his collision with Sam Mitchell in the first quarter of Hawthorn’s win over the Kangaroos at Etihad Stadium on Friday night.

The Roos vice-captain collected Mitchell as he marked the ball.

It was the view of the MRP that contact was primarily made to Mitchell's upper chest area and there was no insufficient forceful high contact made to constitute a report. No further action was taken.

However, Ziebell and teammate Daniel Wells have been slapped with fines for engaging in a melee, while defender Michael Firrito can accept a $1,000 sanction with an early guilty plea for wrestling.
