Absolutely deserves a suspension.

Whether he gets one might be another matter but to me it was deliberate and he didn’t even hide it particularly well.

Just a nasty, underhanded move that has no place in the game.
 
In my mind this deserves more than what May will get, one has dirty intentions the other is a genuine crack at the ball.
I agree, should be two weeks with a huge warning. A player could easily lose a kidney with that action and he has form. Maynard should also get looked at for shoving a kid into the bench rather than just a Free kick for.
 
Dirty, dirty act. AFL should give him a week and send the message that that act will not be tolerated. But no doubt it'll get glossed over and Moore can continue on his way.

You always see the opposition response with these 'Ooops, sorry, clumsy me' knees into a defenceless opponent on the ground. They're always filthy about it, because it's a cowardly, cheap shot that can do serious damage. It's a big no-no among the playing fraternity. Moore's also happened to be a freebie if there's no further action. A 50m penalty, whoop-de-do, made no difference by that stage.

Compare it to the Carlton players' reaction to the May/Evans bump: there was a bit of the obligatory pushing and jumper-grabbing after they saw the replay, but no real fury like that which accompanied Moore. I think the players realise that - although it may require a suspension - incidents like the May one can happen to anyone when things go a fraction wrong.

Moore deserves a suspension and I think two weeks would send a big message.

Entire AFL community: "Dog act, 3-4 weeks and public humiliation".
Garry Lyon: "Leave Darcy Moore alone...."
 
THIS is where they need to apply the 'potential to cause injury' clause. This could have resulted in broken ribs, lacerated spleen or kidney. After Tom Lonergan, Dusty etc suffering from serious internal injuries, this dog act from Moore deserves a suspension.
