Other incidents assessed
Contact between the Geelong Cats’ David Wojcinski and St Kilda’s Andrew McQualter from the third quarter of Friday’s game was assessed. The panel said that Wojcinski dived in to contest the ball. The Geelong player’s eyes were on the ball at all times and he reaches the ball before contact is made. As he was contesting possession and reached the ball, no further action was taken.
Contact between St Kilda’s Sam Fisher and the Geelong Cats’ Jimmy Bartel from the fourth quarter of Friday’s game was assessed. The panel said Bartel was being attended by club staff after a contest for the ball in the middle of the ground. Fisher was watching the play upfield, and was the closest opponent to the Geelong player. As Bartel prepared to move off the ground, with two club staff in very close proximity to him, Fisher was standing still watching the play upfield, with his eyes not on the Geelong player and staff. From all available vision that was viewed, including vision that was not broadcast during the match telecast, the play downfield then moved at the time that Bartel moves into Fisher’s path to begin leaving the ground. Fisher has his eyes on the play down the ground and steps forward and minor contact is made by Fisher to Bartel. The panel said that Fisher’s focus was play at the end of the ground and the contact was not deemed unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.
Contact between Melbourne’s Brad Miller and the Adelaide Crows’ Patrick Dangerfield from the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game was assessed. Due to the inconclusive nature of the vision available, which could not determine where contact was made to player Dangerfield, no further action was taken.
