Hoping the MRP views this as ridiculous as I think it definitely is. I have seen heaps of players raise their knees to brace for contact. This was one of those instances. Players get corkies all the time. Might as well stop contact completely if players are going to be suspended for protecting themselves from contact.
If you see someone approaching you to bump you, you do not stand straight and let them collect you, you brace yourself and protect yourself.
My opinion, again, will not even be looked at by the MRP.

"Contact between Hawthorn’s Sam Mitchell and the Adelaide Crows’ Taylor Walker from the second quarter of Thursday’s match was assessed. Walker approaches Mitchell to shepherd him from his teammate as Adelaide moves the ball forward. Michell raises his arm and leg to protect himself and brace for contact, and makes contact with Walker. It was the view of the panel that Mitchell’s actions were not reportable and no further action was taken."
That's the Taylor Walker one. How could this one be viewed any differently - especially given it was FAR LESS SEVERE?

I hope this helps Selwood get out of suspension:
NORTH Melbourne defender Sam Wright believes the tackle Joel Selwood laid on him in Saturday night's clash against Geelong has been blown out of proportion and shouldn't land the Cats' skipper in hot water.

Carlton will be without Bryce Gibbs for the rest of the season, with the vice-captain set to undergo surgery today.
Gibbs tore his left pectoral muscle late in the third quarter of Friday night’s match against Richmond.
Carlton’s Head of Football Andrew McKay says after weighing up several options it was decided surgery is the best course of action.
"If we let Bryce's injury heal naturally, he would have still been out for up to eight weeks and could have risked further damage," McKay said.
"By having the procedure now it will ensure Bryce is fully recovered and ready to go for the start of the pre-season.
"Obviously he is clearly disappointed that his season is over, but what this does do is give some of our younger players an opportunity to put their hand up for selection.”
Meanwhile Dennis Armfield will also have surgery this week after suffering a broken arm in the match.
Armfield will have a plate inserted into his right arm, which will sideline him for four weeks.
