Set to play next week: Richmond forward Jack Riewoldt is likely to accept his reprimand offer from the AFL Match Review Panel.

Riewoldt set to escape ban

Richmond forward Jack Riewoldt can escape with a reprimand if he pleads guilty to striking West Coast midfielder Daniel Kerr.

The AFL match review panel laid the report against Riewoldt after an incident during the opening quarter of Saturday's match, which the Tigers won by 15 points.

The level two striking offence draws 125 demerit points but the discount for an early guilty plea would give Riewoldt a reprimand and 93.75 points added to any future charge.

The panel dismissed a match-day report against North Melbourne's Jack Ziebell for engaging in rough conduct against Adelaide's Brent Reilly, ruling contact was accidental.
