Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 vs Brisbane

WESTERN Bulldogs young gun Sam Darcy has been offered a two-match ban for his late hit on Collingwood defender Brayden Maynard on Friday night.

Darcy arrived late at a contest and collected Maynard during the first quarter of the Dogs' 18-point win over the Magpies at Marvel Stadium.

The Match Review Officer graded the incident as careless conduct, high impact and high contact, meaning he can accept a two-game ban.

If they accept the suspension, the Bulldogs will be without Darcy for their matches against Brisbane and Fremantle.

With forward Aaron Naughton sidelined with a knee injury, it would be a blow for the Dogs.
Meanwhile, Rhylee West has been banned for one game for his bump on Jeremy Howe.

Taylor Duryea and Josh Daicos can accept fines for striking Nick Daicos and Lachie McNeil, respectively.

Prelim he gets off right? Probably fair enough considering current crack down on head high.

McNeil comes in, Arty Sub

Bring in all smalls - Richards, Jones, Clarke (if Libba still not right) and McNeil. Maybe Clarke.
This is a good chance to test without another tall. They did this in a few simulation matches and worked really well. If needed English can go forward more.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 vs Brisbane

Have to appeal the West incident.

As for Darcy, is there a higher impact grade than high impact? He could have hit him harder (and nobody would have been upset about it).

I'm finding the commentary on here around Darcy's hit on Maynard pretty bemusing.

My stance on smashing blokes unnecessarily is pretty well known and for the life of me I can't understand why there's so much guffawing about Darcy hitting Maynard.

Darcy had ample time to put his hands out and lower the impact . I know you jee were on the same side as me when Maynard hit Brayshaw, so I can't understand at all why we're laughing it off.

I'd be FILTHY if an opposition player hit o of ours like Darcy did. Filthy.

He didn't have to hit him and he chose to. I'm amazed it's only 2 weeks. We take that and run.

I’m surprised people are defending it. I think it was more awkward than intentional, but if Maynard had of been concussed he’d be missing 4 weeks no problem. Not sure it’s particularly controversial. You could argue it wasn’t a 50 because he didn’t complete the mark, but the umps were giving 50’s away like Halloween candy early on.

I guess maybe I'm more bothered by the "hurr durr it's Maynard so who cares" jokes around it. I mean I've got no problem with Maynard I think he's a gun, but I can see how others mightn't like him.

But laughing it off because it's him overlooks the fact that it's a really potentially dangerous thing to do.

The West suspension makes me hate this game more than I already do.

Might as well play touch footy at this point.

Yeah, fair call.

I think Darcy should be suspended for 2 weeks but also think they should let him off because he’s really cool.

Ha I thought for sure your second part was going to be "extra two weeks because he didn't hit Harmes"

I was genuinely questioning how high impact is graded, and also believed Darcy could have gotten him even harder which would have maimed him most likely (I actually believe the impact was medium, if high is the highest you can go).

Flippantly I suggested nobody would care if he did get him harder given it was Maynard who was hit. I guess the sentiment of what goes around comes around is still strong but I don't support it, so in hindsight the comment was silly.

In game I was furious with Darcy as it was completely unnecessary and dangerous - and he could have tried to reach the ball.

I'm sorry, if you're only going to counter my points with reasonable conversation then there's only one solution. Nets.

I just can't square Darcy's hit (which would have hurt but would it have injured Maynard?) with the litany of other star players raising their elbows as they collect their opponents in the head and getting anything from a warning to a week. Especially when we know what the potential impact is from concussion and it's more than a few weeks out of the game

Like is what Darcy did comparable to this?

Because that got 2 weeks. I just don't see the same potential for harm but maybe that's just ignorance on my part.
