Wrestlemania in Tigers v Freo match; Maynard escapes sling-tackle report

Wrestlemania in Tigers v Freo match; Maynard escapes sling-tackle report – Match Review round 8

From the MRO.

Thursday

Friday

Incident explained:
The incident involving Collingwood’s Brayden Maynard and Carlton’s Matthew Owies from the third quarter of Friday’s match between Carlton and Collingwood was assessed. Maynard applied the tackle from behind on Owies who both leans forward in the tackle and raises his right arm, leading to Maynard falling with and on top of Owies. It was the view of the MRO that Maynard did not sling, drive or rotate Owies into the ground with excessive force, and accordingly the MRO did not consider that Maynard’s actions were unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.
