Didak Definitely Cleared
The match day report laid against Collingwood's Alan Didak was reviewed. It was the view of the Match Review Panel that Scotland took possession of the ball and Didak began to moved towards him from the side and slightly behind the Carlton player. Scotland first realised his opponent was approaching when he was approximately two metres away. Didak had positioned himself to bump and had his arm and shoulder tucked in for contact. Scotland attempted to avoid contact but unfortunately contact was made to his head. Despite the high contact, Didak's action was viewed as a legitimate attempt to bump. Therefore, the contact to the head was considered accidental and the action was not considered to be a reportable offence.
