Bulldog Sam Darcy in hot water after late bump on Collingwood’s Brayden Maynard

Young Western Bulldogs forward Sam Darcy has landed in hot water after a dangerous late bump on Collingwood’s Brayden Maynard on Friday night.

 

 

 

The act occurred early in the first term at Marvel Stadium, with Darcy jumping into Maynard’s back as he took a mark just outside Collingwood’s forward 50.

 

 

 

Maynard went straight down onto the turf, where he lay in pain.

 

 

An all-in brawl ensued, as Maynard collected himself and was awarded a 50-metre penalty for the act.

After Maynard went back to slot the goal, he was quickly forced off the ground to undertake a SCAT5 concussion test.

 

 

It was Maynard’s third goal for the season and 20th for his career.

The Pies defender eventually returned to the bench later in the first term, passing his HIA.

When he did get back on the ground, he was welcomed with cheers from the Magpies faithful

 

 

 

 

The issue for Darcy, if he is cited by the MRO, is that he didn’t throw an arm up to attempt to spoil the ball.

The act could see him handed a two week suspension, if the act is deemed careless.
