BERNIE Vince has escaped sanction for his bump on Carlton's Dale Thomas early in Sunday's match at the MCG.
Match Review Officer Michael Christian said there wasn't sufficient force in Vince's bump to warrant a charge.
"He elected to bump, but you must execute that bump fairly. He didn't, he jumped in the air and made contact to Thomas' head," Christian said.
"But there's also got to be an associated level of impact and Thomas was able to get up immediately, instantaneously, and contest the next football and then was able to play on without any problem."
