Report:
Daniel Chick (WCE) reported by umpire Stephen McBurney for rough conduct against Nick Malceski (Syd) during the third quarter. The MRP assessed the incident and found Chick had bumped Malceski after the Sydney player handballed. Contact appeared to have been made to Malceski's chest and soulder area. Although the contact was slightly late, the action was not considered a reportable offence.
