Round 19:

Friday

Incident explained – Guelfi tackle on Berry (Q3 – 11:42 to go)

The incident involving Matt Guelfi and Sam Berry from the Third Quarter of Friday night’s match between Essendon and Adelaide was assessed. Berry takes possession of the ball before Guelfi lays a tackle, rolling Berry to ground. It was the view of the MRO that Guelfi did not sling, drive or rotate Berry to ground with excessive force. The MRO did not consider that Guelfi’s actions were unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.

Incident explained – Caddy on Dawson (Q3 – 02:21 to go)
The incident involving Nate Caddy and Jordan Dawson from the Third Quarter of Friday night’s match between Essendon and Adelaide was assessed. The ball is loose in play and Dawson is pushed forward and downwards into the path of Caddy as he attempts to kick the ball off the ground. High contact is made by Caddy on Dawson. It was the view of the MRO that it was reasonable for Caddy to contest the ball in the way that he did and in the circumstances which included Dawson being pushed forward and downwards into his path. No further action was taken.

Incident explained – Keays tackle on Caldwell (Q4 – 16:40 to go)
The incident involving Ben Keays and Jye Caldwell from the Fourth Quarter of Friday night’s match between Essendon and Adelaide was assessed. Caldwell gathers a loose ball following a boundary throw in and is tackled by Keays with his right arm. Caldwell is able to get his left arm down to protect his fall and reduce the force of any impact. It is the view of the MRO that Keays exercised his duty of care in executing the tackle. Accordingly, in the view of the MRO, Keay’s actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.

Saturday

Incident explained
- Ryan on Stocker (Q2 – 14:43 to go)
The incident involving Liam Ryan and Liam Stocker from the Second Quarter of Saturday’s match between St Kilda and West Coast was assessed. Stocker takes possession of the ball and seeks to break away from the contest as the umpire blows the whistle. Ryan is running towards the middle of the ground and sees Stocker running into his path. Ryan veers away from Stocker to avoid him but Stocker stumbles and accelerates forward and downward into Ryan’s path. Ryan braces for contact and a collision ensues. It was the view of the MRO that Ryan did not elect to bump and his actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.
