CLINTON Young will be free to line up for Collingwood against Port Adelaide on Sunday.

Young was reported for striking Adelaide's Brodie Smith in the Crows' win over the Magpies on Sunday night.

But the AFL Match Review Panel, after speaking to the reporting umpire, reviewing a medical report from the Crows and reviewing available footage, deemed further action necessary.

The force used by Young to commit the strike was deemed insufficient to constitute a reportable offence.

Port Adelaide plays Collingwood at the MCG at 4:40pm (AEST) on Sunday 3 August.
