A few issues will be looked at on the weekend, but with the Pies playing the Dees on Queens Birthday Monday with players out/in doubt already (Beams injured and Swan/Jolly going to the US for rehab), Dale “Daisy” Thomas could be in trouble after throwing a forearm in a pack situation at the Saints Clinton Jones.
There was three match day reports, all from the West Coast vs Gold Coast game and two Rising Star prospects. David Swallow of the Suns was reported for rough conduct for a bump which is a really bad sign for him. Jack Darling, another popular pick, is also been reported for striking Campbell Brown. Lastly Scott Selwood also was reported for striking Gary Ablett. Full details and updates over the weekend below.
UPDATES
- Monday 3:55pm: Updates coming in. 5 charges and 5 explanations according to Patrick Keane on twitter.
- Monday 4:05pm: Swallow and Darling cleared but Thomas can accept 1 match. Full details soon!
- Monday 4:40pm: Full details now available. Dale Thomas wouldn’t be risking a longer suspension to challenge, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes to the tribunal.
- Monday 6pm: MRP video added
- Tuesday 11am: As predicted here, Dale Thomas is going to contest his 1 week suspension. Contrary to SEN News at 9am this morning, he won’t face an extra week (unless the tribunal chooses to move up some of his points).
- Tuesday 12:15pm: Details of accepted challenged below.
- Tuesday 7:25pm: No surprise to anyone, the appeal was thrown out. But we did learn that Clinton Jones has Herpes!

Other Incidents Assessed:
The match day report against the Gold Coast Suns’ David Swallow for engaging in rough conduct against West Coast’s Scott Selwood was assessed. The panel said that after the ball was bounced at a field bounce, Swallow was coming in the opposition direction to player Selwood to contest the ball. Swallow had his hand out to try and take possession and it was the view of the panel that he made a legitimate attempt to win possession and the player had no realistic alternative way to contest the ball. No further action was taken.
The match day report against West Coast’s Jack Darling for striking the Gold Coast Suns’ Campbell Brown was assessed. Contact was made with an open hand and it was the view of the panel the force was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.
Contact between the Geelong Cats’ Harry Taylor and the Western Bulldogs’ Liam Picken from the second quarter of Saturday’s match was assessed. Taylor had taken possession of the ball when Picken came in towards him to tackle. Taylor made high contact to his opponent as he tried to break clear with the ball and a free kick was paid against him. It was the view of the panel that his action was not a striking motion and no further action was taken.
Contact between the Adelaide Crows’ Richard Douglas and North Melbourne’s Jamie MacMillan from the first quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. The ball was bouncing loose with players Douglas and MacMillan coming to the ball from opposite directions. Douglas had his hands down, ready in an attempt to win possession, and touched the ball with his left hand before contact was made to his opponent. It was the view of the panel that Douglas made a legitimate attempt to win possession, with the ball in dispute, and the player had no realistic alternative way to contest the ball. No further action was taken.
Contact between Carlton’s Chris Judd and an umpire from the third quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. The umpire had bounced the ball and was heading backwards when he deviated away on an angle, rather than move in a direct straight line. Player Judd held his position and it was the view of the panel that the change in path by the umpire had contributed to the contact. No further action was taken.
