Young Brisbane Lions defender Ty Gallop has escaped with a fine after laying a big tackle in the thumping win over Collingwood.

In his first game back after serving a three-game ban for serious misconduct, Gallop found himself in the match review officer's sights again on Friday night.

But the 20-year-old will be free to play in Brisbane's qualifying final after being offered a $2000 fine for a rough conduct charge against Magpies forward Charlie West.

The MRO graded the incident as careless conduct, low impact and high contact.

West was given a free kick for Gallop's tackle, but the Collingwood youngster went back to kick the goal and was able to play out the match.

Star veteran Dayne Zorko wasn't looked at for catching Jack Crisp high in the last quarter and is free to play.
