RICHMOND captain Toby Nankervis has been cleared after making contact with an umpire in the Tigers' loss to Gold Coast.

Nankervis cannoned into the umpire at a centre bounce in the third quarter of Richmond's 84-point loss on Saturday.

But the Tigers ruck wasn't cited by the Match Review Officer, meaning he has avoided a sanction.

West Coast's Liam Baker, Melbourne's Christian Salem, Essendon's Oskar Smartt and Brisbane's Lachie Neale were all fined following incidents in Saturday's games.
