The high bump that Goodes landed on Geelong skipper Joel Selwood at the SCG on Thursday night attracted the MRP's attention.
Goodes had both feet off the ground and collected Selwood in the head but the panel found that "Goodes jumps in an attempt to contest the ball and braces for contact.
"Contact is made. It was the view of the panel the contact made was below that required to constitute a reportable offence."
