Gold Coast Suns forward Ben King has escaped any punishment for a hit that resulted in Lachie Whitfield leaving the field during the Giants' seven-point win in Sydney.
In the ninth minute, a kick back from Toby Bedford went over the head of Whitfield who had to chase behind him as King came from the other way.
Whitfield was helped up by his teammates with Gerard Healy happy with the contact.

"Absolutely perfect technique, that was great," he said on Fox's coverage.
Whitfield stayed on the field until two minutes left in the quarter as he headed into the sheds with medical staff.
At quarter time, Alastair Lynch argued King was "trying to protect the ball with his body and hit Lachie Whitfield at the same time".
Brad Johnson added: "Just one of those unlucky ones where the ball kept dribbling away from Lachie Whitfield ... they're difficult ones because he can't shape his body to protect himself".
However, David King saw it differently.
"I think he'll have a case to answer," he said.
"I think if you have a look at the angle from the boundary, he goes past the ball to make contact."
Ultimately he was wrong, with the Suns forward not featuring in the match review officer's report.
King's teammate, Matt Rowell, wasn't so lucky after he was hit with a $3,125 fine for careless contact with an umpire. It's his fourth offence.
Toby Greene copped the same punishment, and was fined $1,875.
GWS' Jake Riccardi was also fined $2,000 for tripping.
