Belle Dawes cleared to play in Brisbane's preliminary final after AFLW tribunal dismisses ban for bump on Ainslie Kemp

ABC  

Belle Dawes is free to play in Brisbane's AFLW preliminary final after having a one-game ban for charging dismissed by the tribunal. Two-time premiership player Dawes was slapped with the suspension after charging front-on into Hawthorn's Ainslie Kemp in the second quarter of their qualifying final win. "The collision did involve a lot of force, and it's uncomfortable to watch however … Ms Dawes had few options to minimise the collision that became inevitable." "You could say Craig wouldn't be happy because I didn't complete the tackle but I think in that instance I was just trying to get out of harm's way for both of us."
