Geelong all-australian star forward, Steve Johnson has been cleared by the AFL tribunal over an incident involving Hawthorns Luke Hodge. Steve was cited during the game after allegedley, trying to "strike" Luke, for being angry at him over an incident that happened moments before, involving team mate Matthew Stokes. The Cats could have pleaded guilty and received 45 points towards any future suspension, but with his impeccable record in previous seasons, they believed him when he said he was trying to brush Hodge off, and took it to the tribunal who also believed him. Fox Sports quote Steve Johnson to have said “I believe that if I had of attempted to strike him I would have struck him,”.
