The AFL's match review officer has given Geelong captain Joel Selwood the all clear after scrutinising his collision with Richmond's Rhyan Mansell.

The AFL's match review officer has cleared Geelong captain Joel Selwood of any wrongdoing in his collision with Richmond's Rhyan Mansell.

Selwood turned his body while picking up the in-dispute ball on Friday night, inadvertently making contact with Mansell's head.

There was speculation that Selwood could be at danger of missing Geelong's next clash with St Kilda.

The incident was scrutinised by match review officer Michael Christian, but he found Selwood was contesting the ball and his actions "were not unreasonable".

Meanwhile, young Cat Zac Guthrie can accept a $2000 fine after being booked for a dangerous tackle on Daniel Rioli.

Guthrie's rough-conduct charge was assessed as careless conduct, low impact and high contact.
