From the back angle it looks like he moves across towards him, from the front one like he is just moving around the pack and not towards Fyfe and only braces when Fyfe hits him. No chance he would get off but nobody can be sure that he elected to bump.
Danger literally went at him with nobody around and launched off the ground for no reason and it was completely obvious as an intentional hit, sustaining a worse injury to Kelly (broken nose and a worse concussion).
With Reid you can't see him moving towards Fyfe knowingly, only from the back where he is moving across a pack does it look that way, from the front he is not even looking at him.

Just to show that the match review process is equally stupid at AFLW level

"North Melbourne ruck Emma King is free to play in Saturday’s AFLW qualifying final against her former side Collingwood despite being charged with striking three times in one match.
King was charged with striking her Fremantle opponent Kara Antonio behind play just before three-quarter-time of their round-nine clash at the weekend, leaving Antonio on her hands and knees and causing a scuffle to break out between Dockers and Roos players.
All three incidents were assessed by the match review officer as intentional, low impact contact to the body, with King able to accept a reprimand with an early plea.
Because the three incidents happened in one match, they were collectively classified as a first offence."
Lessen being if you are up for a first offence you can go crazy in a single match with as many incidents as you like!

THE HORROR news has continued at Carlton, with star forwards Jack Martin and Zac Fisher both set for extended periods on the sidelines with injuries sustained in last week's defeat to Collingwood.
Martin sustained a PCL injury to his knee in the dying stages of the clash, while Fisher has bone stress in his ankle, with both players likely to be sidelined for the next six weeks amid a crucial period for the winless club.
Both players had been among the standouts against the Pies, with Martin returning from a calf injury to kick three goals and Fisher again lively in his new attacking role to finish with one major from 16 disposals.
"Jack got a knock to his knee in the last contest of the game against Collingwood," the club's high-performance boss Andrew Russell said.
"It was your classic PCL mechanism, knee-on-knee. Initially, he wasn't too bad out of the game. But he's had some swelling and the MRI showed that he's got a low-grade PCL injury.
"Unfortunately, that's going to require that he's on the sidelines for around six weeks."
Fisher had enjoyed a full summer and had looked the most dangerous threat in the forward line throughout Carlton's first two games, but will again be sidelined for an extended period after he missed 10 matches last year due to a syndesmosis issue.
"Zac had some soreness late in the game against Collingwood," Russell said.
"He's got some bone stress in his ankle. It's a very, very unusual injury. It's the opposite to his syndesmosis ankle last year and we think at this stage that he's probably going to miss around six weeks of footy."
Martin and Fisher's injuries will likely see a recall for veteran forward Eddie Betts this week, while Jack Silvagni (shoulder) and Mitch McGovern (back) are also strong chances to return against Fremantle on Sunday.
