Richmond playmaker Shane Edwards is free to play this week against St Kilda after the AFL’s Match Review Panel cleared him of any wrongdoing in yesterday’s loss to West Coast.

The MRP reviewed an incident between Edwards and West Coast’s Jack Redden in the third quarter, but deemed the contact was made with an open hand and of insufficient force for a charge to be laid.
