Cork's Brid Stack and Laura Fitzpatrick of Cavan
Adelaide player Ebony Marinoff has had her three week ban lifted following the incident which left Brid Stack suffering a stable fracture of the C7 vertebrae.
Marinoff had been found guilty of forceful front-on contact with Cork legend Stack during a practise game but appealed that decision.
The ban was the largest in AFLW history and meant the player would miss a third of the nine-match season.
“A person who’d shown a great amount of duty of care for the opposition player in this incident has rightly been found not guilty.
