Tom Bellchambers will line-up against North on Sunday, after escaping with just a $2,000 fine for striking. 

The Essendon ruckman hit West Coast’s Nic Naitanui in the upper chest or throat in the third quarter, and came under immediate scrutiny.

Although Naitanui dropped to his haunches after the impact and was out of action for several seconds, he was able to return soon after.

The match-up with Bellchambers and Todd Goldstein will be a pivotal one, with both men in solid form.

Against the Eagles, Bellchambers had 22 hit-outs to go along with 13 disposals and a goal.
